The flyer states "Mixed paper, including cardboard."

Duffy's website also has a pdf of acceptable recyclables.

Having a s l o w night tonight. On speedtest.net, got .35 mbps down/.20 mbps up approx ten minutes ago. The decimal is not a typo! Ran it one minute ago, and I'm up to .44 down/.21 up. The speakeasy test was the same. Ouch. Guess I'll be calling Surfglobal tomorrow to see what's up.

I've had Surfglobal for 2.5 years. It's far, far better than Wildblue, but the service seems to have slowed down in the past six months. I have the silver plus plan ($35/month) which claims speeds of 2.0 mbps; I'm lucky if I get half that. I haven't noticed any weather-related issues at all. Outages are pretty rare, but the past few weekends I've had trouble connecting (it's possible that my antenna needs to be adjusted). Customer service is great.

I am very grateful to have Surfglobal after the nightmare that was Wildblue, but I would still kill for a cable connection. Maybe by the time I retire in 35 years?!

We've been getting this channel for a while. I think it's actually a low-powered analog station being relayed from St Albans, part of the RetroTV network. Because it's low power, it's exempt from the digital requirement.

Anyone else get channel 35 out of Canada? That has some quite, uh, colorful programming!
