It's time to get to work. Quite unexpectedly there is a FAST internet connection here in Pampa over Verizon's Extended Network. I've had glimpses of a fast connection occasionally on Verizon's Extended Network but it has been fleeting at best. I get the feeling the network speed gets throttled back as soon as it discovers I'm on as a Verizon EVDO customer. Can that be?

The process is so slow and incremental that you don't notice its effect, but the point is that it is a process.
