What's your favorite sub from Jimmy Johns?
The one from the other shop across the street
Whatever that sub place was beside the MangoCon hotel where I had a wonderful meatball sub > any Jimmy Johns sub.

There was a Subway right next door.

Upstate NY is famous for being a sub haven. Could have been any local place.
Aunt Cookies in Geneseo, not that far from MangoCon is really amazing.

@scottalanmiller Not the Subway. It was some Italian place right across the parking lot.

@scottalanmiller No, this happens in NJ and NY City for SMB all the time. We have here Comcast, Spectrum, Verizon, Altiva/Optimum/Cablevision, Cogent and others.
Verizon is hit and miss, most has been moved to FIOS (fiber) but they still offer Coax and AdSL to customers in areas that doesn't have fiber. So we dont get ethernet drops unless you ask multiple times or if it is DSL. with Coax you are left to their Verizon modem .
Cable Vision is Coax Internet for Businesses so all goes to an Arris, Motorola or Cisco router and then you get your ethernet Drop.
Spectrum and Comcast are same as well.
Exactly. This is the normal for SMB, not the exception.
I am not saying that your experience is not your experience @scottalanmiller, but I am saying that it is not the normal for what is out there in the SMB space.
I expect coax options, but ADSL in large quantities and ADSL where they don't provide the bridge gear? Even when working with ADSL, which I have done, and SDSL, I always found it far more common that the gear was provided for converting to ethernet.
Around here they have these terrible Actiontec (I think) modem/router combos for ADSL. Just terrible. They are stupidly unreliable and I've had to replace a dozen of them over the past few years.
But they provide them, right?
Only the first one. If for any reason they break you have to purchase a new one from the telephone company.
Obviously, that's always how ISP equipment works.
Eh? Not around here. If your business cable modem dies they give you a replacement. -

That's it. It typically depends on what killed the modem. Was it just because of old age or did you try to give it a bath?

My wife was holding her hand and she went limp/tantrum-y in the middle of a crowd. Got jostled a bit and it messed up her elbow. Not fun on an infant/almost toddler. Wasn't prepared for the seeing her in pain in the hospital bed bit... that's not on the fatherhood brochure.

Tell me about it. My eldest needed a spinal tap when she was one day old, it was unbearable for us. My youngest was handed to me to carry to the ICU when she was born because she was suffocating and they wanted me to get the few moments with her that I could in case they couldn't get her breathing. Both are fine and have no idea of all the trauma that they had now.

Hey, an RPG IT dashboard that makes doing IT work feel like an RPG with stats and stuff, leveling up, etc. What a cool idea.
The Name?

That's sad... no idea how my parents did it. Thankfully they only had one (me) who was not supposed to make it more then a few hours after birth.... the others were all healthy.

LOL, no, that was my point. If it is their equipment they fix it if it dies, but not if you threw it out the window or drove over it or set it on fire.

It wasn't my fault. I promise!
