I didn’t realize how much I missed being able to get on the internet at home until we moved. During our glamorous stay in on-base lodging (you know, the place with mice…) we were without internet access. So we made frequent trips to Starbucks and Panera Bread to use their free internet. In so doing, by the way, I discovered that Starbucks is actually pretty stingy with their internet access–you have to pay four dollars for every two hours of use. And Panera Bread isn’t very generous either, at least during the hours of 11:00 am to 1:00 pm–they boot you off after just thirty minutes!
Anyway, we finally got our internet hooked up at the house, and it is incredibly convenient to be able to check email and update podcasts while wearing pajamas and lounging on the sofa. It was also very nice to be able to watch FSU pummel Maryland last night, thanks to ESPN and Cox, the local cable provider. Cox has some really funny adds for cable and internet, my favorite of which are below.
Aside from Cox bringing us the wide world of sports, they’re also our internet provider and I have so far been impressed. The service guys who came out yesterday were very polite and helpful. So Cox is doing ok in my book, and hopefully they’ll stay that way.
