How is that  amazon fire tv box? Is it just a Amazon Prime Video player? Or is it something different?

I really like it so far, but I only got it hooked up last night so I haven't had a chance to really check it out yet. It has apps for most of the popular video streaming services, but I already had a prime account so that was a part of why I choose the Amazon device. Another big reason was it has a Toslink optical audio out port for hooking it up to my receiver. I didn't look at all the other options but most of them don't have the optical out.

just called comcast today and found out I can get a fiber line installed in my home and get 500Mbps down / 100Mbps up (for $400 a month).

Being rich would be nice.

re wired my internet to go  straight to the modem with an ethernet cable instead of using that shitty powerline adapter.

Awwwwww yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The best I can get around here is DSL.  That costs over $70/month, and I'm still happy to have it.  My speed test was too crappy to post, unless I can get a prize for being the slowest.

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate you.

We ran out of internet on the 29th and we don't get our new allotment until the 14th. So this is our speed until then.

I just noticed there's a grade at the bottom. F-.

That sounds about right.

That shit ought to be illegal. With that ping I'm guessing satellite service?

Yeah. Like Johan said, it is all we can get out here.
