I got a flyer in the snail mail the other day that said "surf fiber internet will soon be available to you". My Mom has fiber internet in another state, and I know it's fast for her (albeit she has verizon fios). I live in the USA Midwest Chicago area- and I have had comcast xfinity for 20+ years here. They are a ripoff. I am charged 88.95 a month USD. I have no TV or any other services other than basic internet (I think it's the second lowest speed- they may call it "performance internet")
What I did notice (and this may be a coincidence) was that they must be doing some construction on my street because they made survey marks on my property and painted where the gas line and water lines are. Could this be because they are putting in the fiber cables?
Thinking of switching but want to get opinions of others. Besides cost reasons, comcast can suck off because they are basically part of other hollywood support corporations that are part of ACE. (this is the other reason I want to do it)
I listen to video game soundtracks from the 80s and 90s, and most of it is japanese from the pc98/pc88 and x68000. There is no streaming service with this. I have a collection of about 5000 soundtracks that I change out from time to time on my mp3 player which I paid about $30-40USD for and I wear conventional headphones. I have a pair of redundant backups for my collection which is about 150gb. No need for any music streaming. If anyone is curious and wants to hear it- my favorite soundtrack right now is called "X-na" on the x68000. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpvM2IcXai4
