Very nice setup! Oregon is a nice state...but living outside of Corvallis/Portland/Eugene/Salem...feels like being in the past. For instance...had DSL before with the regional phone company...but because I live in a rural area...could only get 3MB DL/768K UL with a 1 TB data cap. Got a chance to get on a 5G cell network with unlimited data & speeds almost unrealistic compared to anything else.

Being the only TV available (other than public TV)...is by streaming. With these speeds...can watch 4K feeds & without lags like I had with DSL.

.... I'm not a complete idiot, some of the parts are missing!
