According to my father, who lives within earshot of a pickleball court, the game is terrible for the mental health of innocence bystanders… Due to the noise made by the oversized ping pong paddles.

That sounds a little more than mildly infuriating. Hope you and your puppy start feeling better soon.

Prboom+ for the Doom fans in the room!

If you can get it, I hear starlink ok. When looking into it there was a waitlist/downpayment that was many months out. I also don’t trust Musk not to destroy starlink.

We tried HughesNet and it was so bad I happily paid the early termination fee to get rid of their trash.

The DSL connection was a big improvement, even better than a cellular hot spot in the area.

Yeah it’s nuts. Where i came from we had a couple of broadband options but in this place its like an information desert. The house didn’t even have the connection when we first arrived, it cost about $400 for the DSL install.

“Rural” Texas (about an hour from a big city) and the only thing we have available is ADSL at 10/1 mbps on a good day. I’m paying $65 and as long as we don’t stram 2 things at once it works!

Don’t feel too bad, at least you have some bandwith. ADSL (10/1 mbps) is the only thing available in my part of rural Texas, besides satellite 🤮, and I’m paying $65/month
