How Much Do You Internet?
I’ve been a loyal Comcast user for several years now, but as of tonight I’m starting to change my mind. Our high-speed is like (well, has been like) lightning, and combined with wireless, well: let’s just say my Internet addiction makes sense.
How much do you use the Internet on a given day? It may be more than you think, at least if you’re anything like me. I usually only realize it when I’m away for a while (i.e., when I’m forced into not using it, like now).
Usual daily routine: Get up, get ready, turn computer on for iTunes in background. #1 check e-mail. Go to work, where I sit at a computer all day. On lunch break: #2 check e-mail. Just before I leave for the end of the day, if I have a sec, #3 check e-mail. Come home and eat dinner. #4 Check e-mail. Do other things–it varies–then, before bed, #5 check e-mail.
Tonight, instead of going to the local senatorial debate I had planned on attending, I spent almost two hours on the phone with Comcast because our Internet is down.
The customer service rep tells me the soonest a tech can come is Friday. Friday, people. What in the world am I going to do until then?
Forgive the blogging absence until then, will you? And when you surf in quick-speeded luxury, think of me.
DSL, here we come.

I didn’t get an internet connection in my last apt until after a year and a half of living there for this very reason: I knew I would spend too much time on it.
It’s the same reason I never got cable.
I know the temptation is too great so I felt better about not even giving myself the option.
DSL is fantastic!
