Amazon Lays Off ‘Several Hundred’ Staffers at Prime Video and MGM
Amazon has laid off "several hundred" staffers at Prime Video and MGM Studios, Mike Hopkins informed employees on Wednesday.www.indiewire.com
According to their site, I'll be able to get 300 Mbps service for $75/month. Well, $65/month, plus $10/month for the Wi-Fi router (I guess you could just buy a router and save on the monthly charge). Or for $85/month, I get 1 Gbps, with the router included. That sounds like the way to go, as we're paying $85 now, including the router fee.Soon, we'll be able to get fiber optic internet service, which I'd imagine would be pretty fast. I'm at about 370 Mbps now, but faster and cheaper (or at least some competition) would be good.
our suburban, spread-out town of York has been wired with Fidium fiber optic cable. They just did our street. At present, those of us who don't use a dish or can't get a good cell signal, are still relying on Spectrum coax cable for internet, and then we're either streaming or using the Spectrum cable TV service. Soon, we'll be able to get fiber optic internet service, which I'd imagine would be pretty fast. I'm at about 370 Mbps now, but faster and cheaper (or at least some competition) would be good.
Fidium installers stopped by our house yesterday. We're scheduled to get wired-up a week from today. They will run it to our pole and then through the underground conduit to the house. Installation is free, so we only pay for however many days we get service, in case we want to cancel in the first 30 days. It will be discounted to $65/mo. for the 1st year for 1 Gbps, then $85 after. We're paying $89/mo. now (it went up again) for 300 Mbps, so this should be a step in the right direction.for $85/month, I get 1 Gbps, with the router included. That sounds like the way to go, as we're paying $85 now, including the router fee.
My in-laws just over the state line from you have Breezline (formerly Metrocast). I got a text a few days ago from my MIL:Their cable TV service is up to $300/mo. now (with internet).
Now that I'm older and everyone around me is older - I notice that people have spent their lives forming their weird viewing habits, which they stubbornly cling to. We have a friend who only watches "ABC shows". I thought this concept went bye-bye in the 80's, but to this day, he just watches whatever is on ABC. His mother only watches shows about surgeries and medical conditions. My MIL only watches MSNBC. We met someone recently who hasn't really turned on a TV since Friends went off the air. I know people who only watch sports and those shows about antiquing and storage units. Some people only watch cooking and travel shows.My in-laws just over the state line from you have Breezline (formerly Metrocast). I got a text a few days ago from my MIL:
"What is the quickest/easiest way to change all of the Metrocast emails. The bill this month.... $316!!"
For years I've tried to get my FIL to just stream the same 50 movies he watches all day and night (the Fast & Furious ones, the Star Wars ones, the Harry Potter ones, and action films like John Wick/Mission Impossible/etc) instead of doing it how he always has: scan the cable guide for 10 minutes and settle on an action movie that's already 1/2 over (I've seen the end of so many action films, but not many beginnings). But that $316/mo price tag may finally be getting him to consider a different method than what he's been doing for 30 years.
Today was the day. A Fidium installer spent over 2 hours here to get me up and running. First he had to get the fiber to our pole, then snake it through our conduit to the house. And that's when it got fun. I thought they'd install a fiber-to-copper box outside the house - like Verizon FIOS did many years ago (in another house) - that would allow them to use our existing wiring in the house. But according to the installer, "yeah, a lot of people think that". The new equipment (modem) has a fiber optic input. My existing modem is upstairs, wired through an interior wall that's not accessible from outside or the basement. It was prewired (ha!) by the electrician before the walls were finished.Fidium installers stopped by our house yesterday. We're scheduled to get wired-up a week from today. They will run it to our pole and then through the underground conduit to the house.

While I've rarely had issues with Spectrum service, they are generally hated in town. For one, they've had a monopoly on high-speed internet and cable TV for years. Their cable TV service is up to $300/mo. now (with internet). And in many parts of town, the service runs through old, unreliable wiring. Also, their customer service sucks, just like Comcast does.
I suspect that when this is all done, the only remaining Spectrum customers will be the ones who want it for cable TV (those who don't want to stream). You know, people like me - until recently.
Yes, perhaps several milliseconds per day.Now you can have more time to spend here at DRC.
I'm the weirdest. I think I'm the only house in the world that never has the TV on, except a movie once a week on average, and maybe 25 minutes to watch an episode of the one show my wife and I are currently working on once or twice a week.Of course, we are weird too.
