1.5 mps
The day I moved in, about 5 other folks did. That day, I found 6 or so wireless signals all locked up. The only service you can get here is Comcast which, from what i’ve read, isn’t such a great company. It would’ve been pretty expensive to sign up for their internet unless I wanted to get the voice and cable package, both of which I don’t need. I thought I was out of luck. I tried looking into wireless cards and such but those are just as expensive. Then (this is where it begins to sound like an infomercial) a friend turned me on to ClearWire which is just about the easiest thing to set up. Supposedly my max speed is 1.5 mps which I thought was going to be ok. Then my other friend with Comcast says he gets 15 on average. Oh well. I really didn’t want to line the pockets of Comcast and i’m glad I found an alternative, a slower one it may be.
So I moved into The New Place and am getting settled. It’s just me which means no sharing of costs so things are costing some but this is what I signed up for. There’s a nice restaurant right next door with a nice view and the parking has been great so I can’t complain.
There are two parks nearby, one with a trail/picnic area and another with tennis courts. It should make for a good summer combined with my latest effort to actually sit down and try and get into school.
If you’re in the neighborhood, do drop on by.
