I am wanting to know if they're reliable, if they deliver what they quote (unlike some other companies) and horror stories....

Give them your address and how much bandwidth you want (1g or 10g) and get a price.

Date: Fri, Jan 6, 2017 11:25 AM It was a bit warmer when I did it in Illinois. Perhaps –20 and the droplets did make a shattering sound when they hit the ground.

At about -45 to -50 It will freeze before it hits the ground At about -70 to -75 it will freeze shortly after hitting the air, sometimes explode in the air. I tried this when I experienced -55 when I lived in Minnesota. You could spit, and the spittle would make a tinkling sound as the frozen bits hit the ground. bp<part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 1/6/2017 8:38 AM, ch...@wbmfg.com wrote: My wife was asking if it was cold enough to throw a pan of hot water in the air and have it freeze before hitting the ground.� We have an employee from Texas that has never seen this.� I told her I thought it needed to be �15 or colder for that to happen.� It has been a long time since I have done it.� � From: Travis Johnson Sent: Friday, January 6, 2017 9:32 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] i am vetting windstream.... � -12F at my house this morning.
