I posted about the work going on in our park to install fiber internet service (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2025/11/fiber-project-in-park.html). The providers of the service are funding the installation, at no charge to our community. I had an eye doctor appointment scheduled, so Carl went without me to a presentation that provided information to encourage us to sign up for the service...

| He sent me this picture while I was at the eye doctor's office to show me that the room was packed. They had moved the meeting to one of the larger rooms in our community as the number of folks who indicated that they were interested in attending was quite large. They were giving away free donuts... and you know about seniors and free food! |

The speeds listed are for both upload and download (many times companies tout their download speeds, which is good for streaming videos or reading social media, but they don't have as great upload speeds which are needed if you are uploading videos or pictures). We can't imagine that anyone here in our community really needs anything more than 500Mbps -- our current Verizon home device provides about 60Mbps download and ~10Mbps upload -- and that is faster than what we were experiencing when we were traveling this summer. If the new service really provides 500Mbps, then we'll have much faster service than we have been receiving. There are incentives, however, to go to the higher plans, that end up making the price not a lot different for the first year... so although we've signed up for them to provide us the 500M plan, by the time they get to our house to do the run to the house, we might decide to go for the 1G or 750M plan.
