Enter your home phone number.

DSL is available at my house, but not FiOS ☹  
If it’s in OP, it’s getting closer! PowerLink $40/month. FiOS $44. hmmm… tough choice… considering its 2Mbps faster download, and way faster upload!

Oh well. PowerLink is fast enough for me for now 🙂

Job hate + bad week prior + SHO kicking my ass time and time again. And I further hate the fact my wrx sounds like it has a “supercharger”. Plus racing withdrawl… neeeeeeddd more raceage.

So yes I am feeling quite emo. 🙂

And dial-up is so much worse it’s not even funny. People expect the world when they pay $5.99 a month. XD

You only get the defrag if you’re a pay call and its costing you $1.99 a minute.
