Happy almost summer. Its gorgeous here! Daughter and I took Gbabe to the cool big park which she loved. Her mom was filming her agility on the monkey bars when she took a big fat face plant. She is uninjured. It was all caught on video tho which Gbabe can't stop watching.. LOL. Kids are funny.

Yay for outside drinks with Peanut. Sounds like fun!

Heading out to the nursery to buy a big pot for a grass plant that has gotten too big for its spot in the garden. Buy some black stain for my trellis/fence project. Trader Joes. March & Ash cannabis store for sleepytime gummies. They are like the Sephora for weed and always fun to browse. Worked on my cable/internet decision spreadsheet.

Good advise. I will keep this in mind.

Thanks so much TS. Yeah. I called again and once again got a different answer. She said they quoted me an extra $45 for unlimited data and they should have disclosed that at the time. The prices you showed me are for new customers. I assumed the $99 was for the Gigablast service, but looking more closely at my bill it states Ültimate Classic 300. They can give me 150 mbps for $87.99 + $12 rental (if I choose) taxes included. I would have 1T data limit. She was quite snippy with me. Gawd.
I'll talk to AT&T next week, but I may just put it all to bed and go with Cox 150 and not have the hassle.
I feel like they are all so disingenuous.

I feel sick. The new person at Cox said 1st rep made a mistake on the quote and it would be $156 (taxes et al). He also mentioned speed test direct from router. Anyway my Cox Panoramic router is run via wifi and specific for this issue. I am paying for 300 mbps. This complex is old.
I just talked to AT&T and they said other people here have AT&T internet service, but my unit does not show up yet. He had to make a ticket to add it on before he can help me. I have to call back next Wednesday, which I will do and then order AT&T.
ETA - daughter has AT&T fiber fast so none of this applies to her.

I have the Gigablast. Interesting, maybe I could order a slower one. I don't really need 940 mbps. Super helpful.

Thanks TS. I thought that was way high. My bill shows $99.99 internet with $12 router rental which is all part of this bundle. I suppose I should be more assertive. I never bought a router because I don't know how to set it up and didn't want to ask the kids for help.
I also need to check with my daughter who I will be seeing today. They pay $45mo but they may have the fiber which has the special prices and fast speed. I hate this stuff!

Hey there people! I'm scheduled to get my second P shot Sunday. I can't wait!
Opinion needed. I'm slow to this whole cutting cord thing, but I am finally getting around to doing it. Currently I have Cox tv/internet with all of the bells & whistles $$$. If I change to just internet it would still be about $126/mo. ouch. I just ran a speed test and I got 20.8 download & 7.8 upload. I do a lot of zoom and connect to a remote server and Citrix for work. I have had no issues with what I have now, except the price.
AT&T is my other option and they only have 25mbs available where I live for $65/mo (for 12 mos) and $99 install.
Reviews online have been mixed including a few horror stories and I can't afford any lost internet time. Should I just suck it up and keep Cox internet and don't fix what works?
