The Shallowest Generation

Anyone who remembers our grandparents keeping everything and canning food, would be ashamed of how we have become a self centered glutenous

Comcast Adding Internet Subscribers Faster Than AT&T and Verizon Combined

Bell south recently bought by ATT stoped providing cable to my area in south Florida. I either had to get a dish, not good in Florida with storms. or not have a single bundled provider. I switched to Comcast which is $ 20 cheaper for the package. This happened to a large number of folks and I am sure Comcast gained significantly.
