Sep. 5th, 2006 08:24 pmSo, my Internet is over fiber. My phones are over fiber. Soon, my cable will be completely over fiber to the house. One line, three services...
...the main one of this post being phone. The reason why is, over copper, the phones couldn't hack anything over 4800 w/o using X2 or even V.90+ technology. Even then, you could only get 28.8K most of the time. Now, I'm consistently over that, even reaching 56K. This also means, I can fax. From my phone line. Free!
Free!!!
No more having to waste gas and money just to send stuff... like the economic deferment I needed to send to Sallie Mae. Four pages, done.
