My internet connection sucked, now it doesn't

The last two weeks I have been convinced that my internet usage had been limited. I had previously watched 4 entire seasons of "It's always sunny in Baltimore" in High Definition streaming from Hulu. When I got down to the last few episodes, the show would constantly stop to buffer, 6 or 7 times an episode. I also noticed videos from CollegeHumor.com and Youtube doing the same, my internet was slowed down. I decided to speed test my connection....500k when I was supposed to be getting 6mbs. That prompted me to give a closer look to getting FiOS and turned out, with a special, FiOS would be the exact same cost, except 20mbs compared to 6mbs, and tons more HD channels compared to like 15.

For comparison, when my connection was "good":

Aaron graduates from the Fire Academy

Aaron's Graduation from the Fire Academy was AWESOME. They had a Bagpipe and Drum band play, the graduates chanted, awards were given, got to see a video with pics and clips of some of the exercises they went through.

Congratulations Aaron, we all know how tough it was and you made it!

Aaron is smack dab in the middle.



Video: Mikael brought us Air Horns to blow when Aaron's name was called. We were definitely the loudest.



Congrats Aaron! YOU'RE A WINNER!
