Same here. I'm in a very rural area and get between 1 and 2 bars with an average download speed of ~6 mbps. I stream 100+ gigs of DirectvNow across that monthly for about $53. It's all a matter of what you need.
Before buying a membership to ancestry.com check and see what resources are available at your local library. My library has Ancestry.com Library Edition for free use AT the library. They allow full access to HeritageQuest.com at the library and at home. At home I have to go to the library's genealogy page and login from there with my library card number. If you haven't been to HeritageQuest lately you might not know they are in the process of adding Obituaries, War Pensions and other records. If the library in my little town in Arkansas offers this surely libraries most everywhere do the same. We also have an Obituary Index of our area that took over two years to create that has over 269,000 entries from 1866 to present day. I myself made a small contribution by working 20-24 hours a week for over a year going through old newspaper microfilm page by page looking for obits or any references to deaths. It was particularly difficult to gather information in the older papers because obits were not always grouped under a heading but instead scattered throughout the paper. This made it necessary to scan every page of every days paper column by column to find as many death references as possible. The older microfilm was so poor that we were limited to four hour shifts to avoid headaches and fatigue. Check and see if your local library has taken the initiative to provide this kind of information. Here's a link to the genealogy sources page including a link to the obituary database. http://goo.gl/IzERY Might be useful to anyone who had an ancestor who lived (or happened to die) in Arkansas. The Library Director also writes a genealogy blog that is very informative. It can be found here: http://goo.gl/XhZwc

I have mounted two Nokia 520s in old cars to replace failed speedometers. Probably at least as accurate as the original speedo in a 1965 Chevy truck.
Rolling Stone does some great reporting, especilly Matt Taibbi. He is a must read for me.
I noticed on my Google Account page they now show an option called Multiple Sign-in. It appears that would solve this problem.

Basically a French translation of the name of a tribe here they traded with, the Oogapaw. Lots of French-Indian community names here.
