Finally! After two years trying to get the service from at least three companies, someone finally decided that the street in which I live, one of the largest in the neighborhood, was a suitable target for broadband Internet installations.

One of the cable companies here is offering the service, and I signed up for a 600Kbps package — the price difference to the 300Kbps package was sufficiently small to make a faster package more interesting.

The price is good but I will still have to pay for the TV subscription as well (I don’t even own a TV). Even so, I’m willing to go with it since I’ll finally be free from the abismal speeds I’m forced to use now, and I can always process the TV signal through the computer if I feel like it. And the cable modem is free — almost.
