Every night our internet goes down at 8 o'clock on the dot. Literally. Every night. It is quite upsetting, especially due to the fact that this is around Emily's bedtime, so we have no internet during the most optimal time for us to get on and check our email or blog. During my brief career in the internet industry, I learned that the internet generally slows down in the afternoon when kids get home from school. I was questioning the cable guys in our area because I was really upset and they told me that when you live on base, the problem isn't necessarily school-aged children, but the thousands of single marines that live in the barracks on base. Apparently, they all eat dinner and spend the rest of their evening playing on their xbox that is hooked up to the internet.
Wonderful.
Sorry this is a day late...

Liz- when we were living on post at Ft. Hood, we had the same problem. Ty checked the internet speed and it was WAY WAY WAY lower than what we were paying for.... When he asked time warner about it, they basically said that on post, they can get away with providing that promised internet "speed" to almost a whole block of on post housing.... So, you are paying for your own internet, but sharing with everyone;) It is BS.... Anyway, you look great!!!! Glad to see things are going well!!! When is the new baby coming??? :)
