EXTRA POINT

Unfortunately, the internet here at our Vermont hillside home is delivered via DSL and as you can see from this screenshot from yesterday's upgrade of my Mac system, it's not particularly fast. ;-)



For what it's worth, it did not take 11-plus hours to finish the rest of the 14.32 GB upload, but it did take a very l-o-n-g time, finishing sometime after I hit the sack.

The good news is fiber-optic finally came up our dirt road last spring. The bad news is the end user is required to "pull a string" through the conduit that runs from the street to the house before the company will install the fiber. The worse news is that yours truly isn't equipped to do the groundwork for the fiber-optic folks and they couldn't recommend someone who we could pay to do it.


We could always try Starlink, but that's just not going to happen.
