    It’s just you. I only check if I think there might be a problem.

    by constantly, I mean once (before work) or twice (maybe three times) a day

    only I do this?

    I've never checked my wireless speed. OTOH, Until recently, I
    had a kid living here, and he'd let me know of any lag.

    I'd cross-off "old person" unless you are saying things like:

    "I pay $X for this speed?! Outrageous!"

    -TE

    The impoverished and weakened Internet hegemon, Google, struck back against the latest threat to its rice

    Mlodych Artstow I Literatow,”

    "I pay $X for this speed?! Outrageous!" I try not to think about this.

    If it gets any more expensive, I'm going to go back to usenet.

    I pay $40/month for 1G internet and HBOMax thrown in. Thanks, competition!


    (I do not have a TV service so maybe I should include my Netflix sub in
    that cost).

    I have 2Gb internet for more than you pay, plus Hulu Live TV, Apple TV+, Netflix, etc. for a lot more than you pay. If I didn't have much money to spend on entertainment and didn't need fast downloads for work, I would probably ditch the high-speed
    internet service, go with an HD TV antenna, and watch DVDs checked out from the library. Our local library branch has a great DVD selection.
