"I'm going Broadband, baby...."
Well, I did it. I jumped the hurdle, gritted my teeth, and ordered broadband Internet access through this provider. Since I already have a NIC installed in my PC (I was thinking ahead when I ordered), I won't have to open my PC, I hope. Also, I'm praying I won't have OS issues, like Beau did with his DSL install.
I chose to get the self-install kit rather than have the cable company do the work. I think the hardest part of the whole thing should be running the new coaxial from my basement to the second floor, but I've already done phone cable, so this shouldn't be any harder. I may try to run the un-terminated cable over the weekend so I'll just have to wire the jack at the business end, and add a splitter onto the existing incoming coax. Oh, and I probably should convert my two-prong electrical outlet in my office to a grounded 3-prong receptacle, so I can safely plug in my soon-to - be bought UPS. Wish me luck!

Does that mean you'll be wearing the tool belt that'll weigh your pants down so we can see your ass? Now THAT would be a treat!! I know, I know: cheap thrills. But hey, I'm cheap...
