I don't know what the new offers are yet. I have to admit it's been a while since I went to the mailbox though. I'm bad about that. I am looking forward to seeing what the offers ARE, as well as some of the more practical/physical matters intrinsic to the fact that I have coax running from the street to the inside of my house, but obviously I don't have fiber optic cable that does the same, so not sure how that piece works. I've gathered I can still use my wi-fi router, which is a pretty nice one (i.e. not from the cable company) but apart from that, not 100% on how the rest of the 'hookup' works

I need to go check the mail lol.
