At long long last

DSL has finally come to my area. And at $29.95/month it's a damn sight cheaper than cable. I know it's a touch slower than cable, but not noticebly so (in comparison to my cable and my father's DSL). I need to do it this week though, there's no activation fee if you start before November.

I had a lot of weird dreams last night. There was one where dad and I were cleaning cat vomit stains out of my carpet. Then there was the one where I was a member of the X-Men (brought on by playing far too much X-Men Legends). That one was cool. I could shoot lightning from my hands and I was sleeping with Iceman.

SBC offered a DSL deal MUCH cheaper than the cable company I'm now with. So I called up and told Cox Cable that I'm switching if they don't make the offer more competitive. So my $49.99 / month for 1.5 Mb Down / 256 kb Up has turned into $23.99/month for 4MB down / 512 kb Up. This deal expires in 6 months, but by then I'm sure I can find a deal somewhere, call Cox, and get hooked up again. If you are happy with your cable connection, consider doing something like that. Besides, switching is a nuisance.
