Went outside to find out what the hammering noise in my yard was all about.

The Google Fiber people are finally laying in the line to my house from the street. We were supposed to have it by the middle of July.

I still don't know why Houston wasn't picked. I guess NASA and the Texas Medical Center aren't good enough reasons to Google

You now have my undying envy. Out here in the Redneck Outback (rural Williamson County), ATT DSL is the only game in town.

I got the same speed from SBC when I first signed up for 1/2 the amount. After AT&T took over it started creeping up a couple of dollars about every 3 months.
and we got customer DISservice instead of service.
