Windows 10: FCC proposing monthly broadband subsidies for low-income households

The girls all liked my cars and motorcycles in H S and we went on some fun dates or casual rides or the movie drive in or the local Mel's drive in ....or cruising or street racing .(when I wasn't working or working on a car or bike ☻) different times no iPhone's ,Tard Pads ,game consoles or PC.s we actually had things to do or made something to do and didn't have to worry about armed gang mayhem ,drive-by's or random violence until we got drafted or enlisted !

I had a 56 Chevy post in first year of H S & 57 Bel Air in jr /sr yr High school with frt. buckets out of 65 Super sport all re done w/ black tuck and roll and custom black headliner and door panels and chrome interior ,window ,WS,and BW trim ,Chrome reverse wheels & moons and duals and a 327 cammer & 4 sp and nice paint & tires and a california rake .

The Motorcycle was a blue 67 Honda CL 77 305 Scrambler With a CB77 cam & sprockets & CB 77 headlight /tack and speedo ...ofc I worked all the time to pay for all that and the cars and they all required maintenance or repairs I rebuilt the Honda motor and carbs & polished the cases & brake drums and had the wheels trued but I had loads of fun with the cars and the Bike when I had the time !

 

Why have indoor pluming?? Or electricity??

We got along great without that as well. *Rolleyes

 

yea but the little house must have been cold in the winter *sarc

 

Always had Electricity. I do remember having only outhouses, pitcher pumps and cooking with a kerosene cook stove. I also remember when our phone was a party line and TV only had 3 channels and went off the air at 11:30PM.

 

But we really didn't need any of those new fangled things.. do we??

 

I had to live with the outhouse until I was a teenager. Not that we did not have indoor plumbing, but it was not attached to anything. During the war they did not bother with infrastructure. The pipes were only put into the streets in the 50s. We did not really feel like anything was missing.

 

I would hate to go to an outhouse in a snowstorm. That would be cold.

 

The summer was worse. Then you had all the flies.

 

They still have outhouse at construction sites & at some events but its not the wooden type. U.K. have automated outhouses, I would be worried about getting stick in there during the cleaning cycle. I think there is a sample on youtube of the automated toilet.

 

No way do I ever want to go back to those "Good Old Days"! *Smile

 

Today's porta potty with the holding tank and chemicals to sanitize are slightly better than the old wooden shed over a hole in the ground.

 

Give me a company in my area that has reliable $9.25 broadband and I'll drop my $60 broadband right now.

 

Do you have AT&T? They have it around $25.00 plus you pay around $100 dollar for the modem, prices and plan may not be available in all areas. I am not recommend At&t. It just might fit some people budgets. 150 to 250 gb data cap depending on whether it is dsl or universe. Caps may have increased since the last time I checked. There speed may be lower.

 

I have ATT (was Bell South) and pay around $35 per month including my phone bill. And I have my own modem. And that is in Florida. In Germany I pay 16 Euros per month. Normally appr. 23 Euros including the phone.

 

I live in a area where I'm very limited to access providers.
1. Dial-up over old copper lines. (very slow and unreliable)
2. My AT&T Mobile access. (limited to the amount of data I can use)
3. Satellite. (Last time I look it was very expensive)
4. Comcast (very fast and reliable. included with my Triple Play plan.
I chose Comcast because it's the best option I have. I only use my AT&T data plan when I have to.
