Moving is a PITA

Moving is a ridiculous hassle.

DirecTV? Oh, we can't come THOSE days to swap your service, would you have any availability three weeks later?

AT&T? Oh, sorry, we don't offer Internet there.

Mediacom? Oh, we did a survey and most people in that neighborhood were on satellite service so we did not run lines there. No Internet.

Moving company (because I'm lazy and don't feel like making my friends sweat for Happy Meals)? Oh, we have to charge you a $200 destination fee. Because our trucks.

Blah, blah, blah

I built a bigger house less than two miles from where I am now.

I doubt they'd lie about this, so that just sucks.

We used Two Men and a Truck (was actually three guys but whatever) and we didn't pay a destination fee. Was all based on time.

So we boxed everything up and placed it near the door. Took apart the beds and had everything lined up for easy carry out. Saved us a good amount of money.

So, since there is no Internet in the neighborhood, I just became the kingpin. Gonna put in a T1 or fiber and sell to all the neighbors. Went from being without service to making a couple grand a month, BOOM.

Don't know, they have never had it before may not want it now. They'd have to go and buy computers and such.

No T1 sucks, you shouldn't do that either.

Satellite is out. Not gonna do that. But I don't have many other options. I could run fiber to the house and sell service off that or T1. Can't (don't want to) pay for that chunk myself.

Why don't you have some of your field hands come in and help the house folk?

How the hell are you going to sell service out of your house? Even if you actually did pay for fiber to be run to your house (snicker) or get a TI, which would still require running a line to your house since currently there is nothing there (snicker), you are saying you are actually going to build an internet infrastructure to every house in your neighborhood so that you can sell them $100 internet per month (snicker)?

He will just send a few of his hired hands to his estate to setup said infrastructure. Money is of no issue.

Well first, I have a business that requires that I have Internet service at my house. (so pffft).
Second, I have funds to run the line to my house and will do so. Fiber. (fu)
Third, one of my friends/golfing partners runs the lines for a living and is going to set it up. (so fuu-u)
Fourth, we're going to handle it because (again) he does that for a living and is gonna make it work.

So, in sum.

He's gonna hook everybody up on a grid and set it up on a payin' system. Yessir, a veritable age of reason! Like the one they had in France!

So.....your friend is going to run fiber to your house? From just somewhere where the internet is? And then, he is going to run lines from your house, to every one of your customers that want to run it?

yeah....I think you are fucking with us...
