[GRLUG] Newbie Network Quality Question

[Benjamin Flanders]

I have Comast at home in Jenison but I am by the GR airport at work right
now.  I e-mailed my wife and she hasn't noticed anything wrong with the
internet, but this might be because her use is mostly Pintrest and
Facebook, with a spattering of Etsy thrown in.  I haven't asked her about
Netflix which the kids love and have probably watched today, but I think
she would have mentioned that.
