Still No Broadband

There was no writing this week. It was another stretch of education for the new part-time job I'm trying to get going. I'm feeling a little burned out and wanting to take a break from it, but I keep going forward.

There's still no movement on the internet front. Some green broadband utility boxes for fiber internet have sprung up very close to me. My driveway is between two installation points. The land has been cleared where I live, but there's still no green box. It's brutal. I've been having connection problems lately with the 5Mbps 4G LTE internet I have now. I'm actually having one now. It's taking forever to get anything done online, and Blogger can't update. Hopefully, it'll clear up enough to post this.

Have a great weekend.

Learning Can Hurt. True Broadband Internet?

Sometimes, my brain gets tired. I've been continuing my educational push for a part-time online sales job in a complex field. As mentioned before, I had to pivot into a different product in the same field, which delayed things. I've been trying to cram months or more of learning into weeks. I think I'm almost to the point that I can start on a trial basis. If I get through the trial phase, I'll be up and running with the job. Once that happens, I'll be able to get back to writing. If I didn't need the money so much, I'd never be doing this.

Some green, plastic boxes have been springing up near some of the power poles near me. I did a web search. They look almost just like the broadband boxes in this story. The ones in the story are for fiber optic internet. I live really close to a fiber trunk. Coincidence? I hope not. Stay tuned! It looks like I'll be able to get true broadband service for the first time ever. I used to  have Windstream, but they only offer 1.5Mbps here. I've been using a 4G LTE cell phone for internet for over a year, but it's being throttled to 5Mbps. With fiber, the slowest speed is 200Mbps. Anything more would is too expensive right now, and I don't really need it. Unless I got a 4K television or something, which would be down the road who knows when.

The land is being cleared out under the power lines and around the poles. I'm waiting for a green box to spring up at my pole. If and when it does, I'll let you know.

Have a great weekend.

Still Chugging Along

It was yet another week of education for a part-time, online sales job I'm trying to get going. As stated last week, I had to pivot from the one I originally wanted to do. It's set me back some. Assuming things go well, I think I'll be up and running either next week or the week after.

Have a great weekend.
