    That's a lot of bandwidth for store communications. I wonder if they are selling the extra fiber or just letting it lay dark. I'd buy me some Walmart Fiber. Google Fiber makes me wish I still lived in KC.

    Home buying thread

    We bought a $300k house and put 5% down. We didn't have the downpayment to put 20% down but we had enough to pay $7k up front to buy out the PMI. Since its typically about 10 years to reach 80% LTV ration, we would have paid around $17k in PMI over that 10 years, so we saved ourselves about $10k.

    There are 8 cases of measles in Chicago, 2 adults and 6 infants. All of who are too young to get vaccinated. That really freaked her out. Hopefully it will die down soon.

    I view it as testing the waters and if it takes off, the first step to buying sprint or tmobile but I could be way off base there. I'm sure they are not going to do the bull shit of throttling and bandwidth caps, which will provide more pressure for all carriers to stop with that shit.

    Of course they don't and those modems cost Comcast around $40, so after 4 months, its pure profit for them. My cable company Charter doesn't charge for modems yet at least.
