It’s a matter of population density.

I’m currently at a McDonald’s attempting to get some work done on a Friday afternoon due to a bit of a disaster at home. A significant water leak necessitated the replacement of some electrical wiring and nearly all my cable internet equipment, along with the water heater. Since I rely on a well, there was no usage spike on the meter indicating a problem, so it’s tough to determine how long this issue has persisted, but it caused quite a mess. What a way to kick off a week.

I took the opportunity to install one coaxial cable to a dry area so I could restore my internet connection. Working from home is crucial for me, as it’s essential to have connectivity since doing my job at McDonald’s is… well… not ideal. I’m thankful they’ve allowed me to spend the afternoon here, and I even received a complimentary coffee. You can find some wonderful people across the country; however, what you won’t discover is sufficient high-speed internet.
