  • I try to live by this philosophy the best I can. I saw it happen to one of my former coworkers. Found out he had a brain tumor around the time he was planning on retiring and was dead within a few months. I visited with his widow after. He was well liked, did well for himself and had a comfortable life, but didn’t make it to retirement. I’m sure plenty of people had similar stories during Covid. Or traffic accidents, sudden health problems, shootings, just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Any of us can go at any time no matter how well we’ve planned things out. Do the things while you can and while you are in good enough shape to enjoy them.




  • Where I live in the US must be a geographical oddity. I have 2 gig symmetrical ftth service. Not shared. There are three providers offering similar service at my address. And yes, they all each ‘dug up the street’ separately to install their cables. Installing fiber via directional drilling isn’t quite that big of a deal.

    No doubt what customers in Switzerland have available to them as written in this article is better. Don’t know what I’d do with 25 gig but it would be awesome. Just saying the writers should update their information on what is available in the US. Their info is from 10 years ago. They are making a perfectly valid point and don’t need the exaggeration.
