Go Mike!

Seriously, Like Owen, I'm in Evergreen and until recently, my home had very
poor speeds, but at least something.  Today, I have no option other than
Comcast which has jumped to mediocre, and AT&T's DSL.  Seriously. I also
get better service in the Sierra's, but alas, still only one choice.
