It's interesting, when it storms here, I have the worst time getting on line. I keep losing my connection. One tech guy told me the old cables rust out and they have a lot of issues with the wet and snow. I'm sure that's part of it at least. I lost my internet for 3 days once during a storm in the San Francisco area!!! Unbelievable. If all these techies have to live here and drive up real estate, etc. to astronomical levels, at least they could make the internet reliable. LOL!!!!
