Hey everybody it's applecrisp

I switched from DSL to cable years ago and havent looked back. Not having to deal with "dry loops" made life much simpler.

Well I live in a rural agricultural town that both pg&e and at&t have a monopoly over. I opted for the dry loop. At the end of the current billing cycle a tech will come out and change the line over. I will be saving $35 a month doing this. I would love to get comcast but it isn't availbale here and even if it was, I am stuck on a contract with at&t for satellite.

This would be the first time having cable. I'm kind of nervous. I don't know if bandwidth would be a problem for my tv or what. Also for iPhone users. I've learned yesterday AT&T wants to cap the "unlimited" data plan for iPhone users because they can't keep up with the demand. I'm really pissed about this. Anyone deciding to get the iPhone my advice would be to wait until it goes to verizon next year.

Verizon is also capping their "unlimited" plans and making it a lot more expensive:

AT&T and Verizon are both toying with the idea of metered pricing >.<

I got my dry loop installed with no hiccups. Internet was down for only 1 hour. Now I am going to save $35 a month. I went through the house and threw away all those damn hardline crap phones I had all these years. So far I have not had any problems with service (knock on wood).
