    About once or twice a year, the one and Only local TV Cable company starts calling me about Five times a day.
    They want me to BUNDLE my TV service with their internet and/or telephone service.

    I find it amusing that the phone sales reps for the internet service don't know the difference between megabits and megabytes. rolleyes

    The guy kept telling me about their 7 megabytes per second and 10 megabytes per second service.

    Their New Television Ads take advantage of the ignorance and confusion by simply referring to it as 7 MEGS.

    What kind of MEGS ???? :confused

    Take Your Pick. Whichever one you like. :cool :celebrate
