  • I picked my mine up in the turn lane of noon rush hour traffic. I was in a utility truck and hit the lights and came full stop. She was probably wasn’t a month old. My daughter held her for about six hours the first day and they were bonded. She is a little weird being raise without other cats around. Now my daughter is grown and she moved to the country. There are other cats around and she started getting out and after a few months disappeared. She was gone a month and half and showed up a few days ago thinner but otherwise healthy. She has been sticking close to my daughter since she got back so maybe she wont do that again.



  • Its getting better but most rural cable systems have older amps and line extenders. The upstream or return portion of them are very limited in capacity. Adding to that problem is the fact that the return on almost all cable systems is in the T channel range. This is also close to the CB radio spectrum and there are several other sources of noise that can interfere with them. It doesn’t matter how many downstream channels you can bond the upstream is limited until you can replace all the equipment on a node with gear that has a larger return spectrum. The line extender on the pole in front of my house is nearly thirty years old and it is doing more than it was designed to do.

    1 meg up. Who? Lots of people. Perhaps the majority of people in the US have very low upstream bandwidth. That amount is through the local cable company. AT&T here offers much less upstream than the cable company does. If you don’t live in a major population center you get slower internet. AT&T is supposed to be updating things around here finally. When I moved in here the best speed they could offer me was 3meg down 256 up. That was in 2022.

    Oh and I should probably clarify for you that 256 is .25 meg.
