Switched to Cable
The switch is done. We have cable internet, phone and tv. I would have been happy with just the phone and internet, but my wife insisted on tv too since it’s not that much more than just the phone and internet.
Observations so far:
I still see reruns even though the channels I’m seeing shows on reruns I’ve only had for about three weeks.
I had to fight with the cable modem to get onto the internet. I guess having ancient 10baseT NICs in the firewall don’t talk to the modem so well. Adding a four port Linksys 10/100 hub between the modem and the firewall fixed the connection. I might have to think about upgrading the network to gigabit and adding at least 100baseT cards to the firewall. The internet is much faster than it used to be.
I don’t like using the cable provider’s DNS servers. I’ll keep using my own, thanks.
