If only we could build computers that would cool a room
down in the summer! :-)

Wouldn't that be something! Probably cost an arm and a
leg, though.

I found it interesting to re-read this item. Comcast
stopped working and I didn't want to deal with AT&T's shady
cup game so I went with VDSL service from Earthlink. It's
$45 for 3M down, 1.5M up and comes in over AT&T copper,
through an AT&T modem but I can let Earthlink deal with them
if and when that breaks.

Interesting. I thought I was paying more for everything here in Japan, but
we pay only about $30 (3200 JPY) per month for a 1 Gbps fiber optic network
connection.

Where I live, I doubt that's available at any price.

I'm expecting delivery of Starlink hardware any day now.

Re. 30: I've been tempted just because the Internet service
here is limited to AT&T even if I buy it through another
company. Starlink isn't ready yet though and I feel as a
former astronomy student I probably shouldn't encourage
them.

Starlink works great if you're willing to use that much electricity.
My use is offgrid and Starlink uses much more energy than advertised -
especially when it is homing and triangulating. In high wind areas,
that can be quite frequent. Alas, it was not sustainable on my
8 solar panel with 2 deep cycle marine batteries which also supply a
few other digital items like cameras and sensors.
