I Don’t Like Slow Internet

I have been trav­el­ing for the past two weeks in Arkansas and Okla­homa.  When I got to Arkansas, I was using dial-up to con­nect to the Inter­net from my mother-in-law’s house.  I knew that it was going to be a lit­tle irratat­ing because I have got­ten use to using broad­band at home and hav­ing a high speed con­nec­tion at work.  What I didn’t real­ize is how irratat­ing.  From her house, I can only get a 26 con­nec­tion.  AHHHHH!!!

I was very happy to get to Tulsa and get on the Net at Panera’s.  But the best was yet to come.  I vis­ited a local library and they have high speed wire­less Inter­net   I fig­ured they would have it but only for patrons.  I believe my library in Orlando has wire­less but you have to sign up for an account.  Maybe that has changed too.  All this to say, it was really nice to get back to high speed the last cou­ple of days.  Tomor­row I leave to go back to Lit­tle Rock and the really slow con­nec­tion.  One more rea­son to look for­ward to com­ing home next week.
