First there was dial-up, then single pair DSL, then double pair DSL, then the Verizon wireless Internet gateway, and now, fiber.

It seems to me that wireless is the future, but nothing beats fiber, and when you have fiber in your front yard it doesn’t make sense to not connect to it. While it is a bit more expensive than the wireless, the fiber connection is at a fixed price whereas the Verizon deal is at a promotional price and certain to come close to the fiber price once the promotion expires.

While the average wireless speed of about 50 Mbs was perfectly adequate, it’s hard to argue with a speed significantly more than 10 times faster. (In Canada we get by with 10 Mbs.)

Sunny and very warm, but with a good SW breeze and the occasional cloud, so maybe a pattern change is in the air. Neighbor dinner this evening, and I’m betting that my squash soup will be the star of the show (it tastes pretty good).

—Nope, it was Sylvia’s carrot cake.
