#6 Snow and Reliability!

Well this morning it was 4 to 6 inches of the white stuff. The Mrs. loves to shovel so she is hard at it. I'll take my turn after I put the blog out. Maybe I'll type with one finger....

Yesterday was a bit frustrating. Our new Internet provider, Ntelos, was down all day. Well it was up for about 15 minutes so I did get the Blog posted. Last night it was snowing, cold and still no Internet. Luckily the Mrs. reminded me that our laptops still had modems. So I fired up the reliable HP and logged into the Old AOL dial up account. At least I could check email and keep up with some news. This proves it is always good to have a backup. Having the AOL account still active for dial up proved to be worth the cost last night. About 11PM the Internet came back up . I feel sorry for the technicians that had to work in the snow getting it fixed, but it shows how dependent we have become on our Internet.

So how reliable is your Internet provider? I don't remember much down time when we had AOL dial up exclusively. I remember it being slow and sometimes hard to get on (the dreaded busy signal). When we first got Rapid Cable Internet, it was not very reliable. They got better as time went on, but they got slower. Before we transferred our account, Rapid was just not that. In the evenings its slowed down to almost dial up speeds. Complaint after complaint brought the reply that they would be putting in more capacity, but it never happened for us. The Ntelos service we have now is 6-8 times faster then Rapid Cable. How can you tell how fast your ISP(Internet Service Provider) is? We use the CNET Bandwidth meter: http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html. (Over 1900 for Ntelos this AM!)

Talk to you tomorrow!

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
