Turn on computer, start doing homework, realize that the internet's down, curse Comcast and Ajit Pai, wait for internet to work again, continue doing homework.

Rinse and repeat indefinitely.

The first thing I'm gonna do once I'm done with college is move back to the small tech boom-town of Lehi where there's actual competition between ISPs that would at least leave lower prices and higher quality service than Comcast and their duopoly with Centurylink here in the next city over.

I'm posting this during the tiny window of internet access that I currently have, and speaking of internet, it's been literally down all freakin' day.

Way to go, Comcast.

FREAKIN' DIE ALREADY, COMCAST.

Whenever I get a new router or some other device to possibly help my internet issues, (such as the router I brought from my old house,) the internet will suddenly work flawlessly for almost exactly one day, before returning to dropping out every so often and general slowness for every day after that.

I call shenanigans.

There's a mild drizzle outside right now. The rain's mostly stopped, but MY FREAKIN' INTERNET WENT DOWN FOR NEARLY HALF AN HOUR.

All I need to do is look some stuff up for my study guide for a biology test tomorrow... is that all that hard for you, Comcast? Or do you deliberately wish to destroy the education of teens simply to milk the money from their already broke pockets?

Meaning I can pretty much forget about trying to play on a Minecraft server. Considering how Net Neutrality is officially dead now as well, I'd have to say that I don't think I'll be seeing a decent amount of gameplay on a server ever again until I can find a better ISP. Too bad Comcast is the only choice here where I live.

Fuck. You. Comcast.

Normally, I'm not one to swear, but taking HALF AN HOUR TO LOAD A SINGLE SITE is CROSSING THE LINE.

SCREW YOU.

And on top of THAT, I'm currently blocked by one of my closest friends, I've lost my earbuds, my homework is beginning to pile up from my internet outages again, and it turns out that our team is currently behind schedule in the upcoming AMES Robotics competition.

Screwing over my internet is the LAST thing I need.
