Now on to more important states like Michigan (sorry California, you have nice weather year round).
I also heard that in conjunction with the D3 launches, these areas are seeing more HD stations. Can anyone from these areas confirm this? |

Our weather is about as diverse as your ISP options are. We have two major ISPs (in NorCal) and that's it.
P.S. -- I'm originally from Oregon.  |

so they all suck to me 
mediocre speed, expensive broadband... nuff said.
we are not a high tech nation we are a money nation...
speed doesn't matter what matter is cheaper is better...
1mbps for 29.95 or 5mbps for 39.95?
I believe 99 percent of us would go for 1mbps! |

Re: Good news from Comcast
ya well I doubt it ever gets humid there like it does here
around june july it'll likely get into the 110-120F temps outside and 100% humidity (although its been cooler the past few years so maybe only 105 for a day or two) |

Hear hear! A larger market, it deserves Comcast's attention, especially since the fastest download available is 8Mbit/sec. |

Re: Good news from Comcast
That's BS. We don't get temps above 100F very often, never 110-120. And the humidity is worse in MI.

Re: Good news from Comcast
I've been in baytown for 19 years and its usually only 1 or 2 days at noon but it did get to 115
its been cooler lately though
are you saying that a thermometer was wrong and we must only trust the thermometer off in the distance somewhere?
and maybe its just baytown but the humidity is very high
ether way this is ot so
