Even if their products are equivalent, if they treat their employees worse, I'll avoid them.

Exactly. Fishing. Hiking. Four wheeling. Back packing. Camping. I also know women that weld and do body work and are mechanics.
Maybe try suggesting things with a bit more variety than the old fashioned, "traditional" women hobbies? Broaden those ideas too.

What how? Were you in the water?

It'd be a really fucking stupid waste of desperately needed funding if something like that was built is more like it.

Of all the fantasies you could have about spending hundreds of millions on something in Maine because it’s “cool” this is pretty far down the list.

Stoned and looking for a fight? I think they’re doing something wrong.

It sounds cliche, but most people can find someone to love within 50 miles of where they live. It’s not a hard rule, or fair one, but it’s a consistent one.

So op doesn’t have to argue, “some examples” was said. Please offer other examples, it will help elevate the conversation. I know woman who enjoy movies, are foodies, fishing, hiking, etc.

I was a little nervous about going with Fidium because of the Consolidated Communications piece but I've been extremely happy with it over the several months that I've had it.
There did seem to be a $10 monthly charge that showed up on the bill that I really don't think was on the advertisement and website. But I'm still less than half the cost of my Spectrum and better performance so I've moved on with life.

No, we are so shitty about roads... imagine a road of water over your head. With the way everything is nowadays, would you really trust Maine's roads to not let you die stupidly?

Just call them and say your going to switch to another provider. They’ll give you like 5$ off, but be persistent, it may take 3-4 rounds of you going back and forth saying , “No, I would like to pay the special promotional rate of $65 (or whatever is currently advertised)”.
I did this a few months back, they upgraded our speed to 500mb/s and lowered the bill by $30/month back to what we were originally paying.
You can also ask to have the contract extended for 2 years so you won’t have to do this every year.

I got lucky and got in on a 25$ a month for life guarantee with T-Mobile home internet. It was cheap so I tried it on a whim along side my spectrum and it ended up being faster that the 80$ a month spectrum. I’m very rural so there’s little congestion but I suggest trying it out especially if you already have them as a mobile carrier.
Depending on where you are, look for Fidium, Go-Net Speed, TDS, Verizon Home Internet, RedZone Wireless.

Fiber, my friend. If you live rurally then you might be SOL, but otherwise you have a better chance.
People here will lollygag over Fidium, but they are owned by Consolidated Communications which is infamous for having terrible speeds so I personally don't recommend them. We went with GoNetSpeed (formerly Otelco) instead, which has worked out well for us. Good speeds, great customer service, and amazing prices.

Reply to Summer break in Maine- July or August? by stickybun_
You are right that the last week in August tends to be less busy than the rest of August as more schools start earlier nowadays. First week of September is also not bad, Labor Day not withstanding. There is more activity in September than there used to be, things don't shut down after Labor Day anymore, but it does ease off some. Mid to late September before leaf season can be glorious or it can be a week of solid rain. Same with June. It's a gamble. July and the first three weeks of August tend to be hotter than you may remember and of course they will be busy and most expensive. But that may be worth it to you and what's hot and busy and expensive from our perspective may not be yours.

Their store brand products are on par with any other store brand.
