Fun fact: internet speeds are measured in megabits, which are 1/8 of a megabyte. Your internet would be .1625 MB/s, or 162.5 KB/s. [/quote] It's got something to do with that. I'm just going off what I heard the internet guy say when he came by this morning. I was eavesdropping. That's comforting. [quote=@whizzball1] Oh, wow. That's terrible. How did you ever manage to do YouTube? [/quote] I didn't always live out here. Where I used to live, I was in one of the two smaller towns I mentioned, and internet was great out there.
