One of our tasks today was to do some banking. A number of account updates come due for renewal in July. We have successfully changed everything to come due during our summers in British Columbia. For example, I recently changed our condo insurance to a different company but the starting and renewal dates will always be on August 1. It feels good to jet away in November and know there's nothing to which we'll need to attend until the spring.
Something else big happened this evening. We have known for a while that Surf Media Inc was coming to the lobby of our building. A few years back our little municipality installed fiber throughout much of the city. Businesses now resell Internet and data to residents over it. We arranged to do so. We gave up our Telus landline in 2017 when opting to use Ooma for a VoIP residence phone. Once, we had satellite TV but have used Telus for TV for at least a half-dozen years. Our ADSL Internet through them is years and years older than that! Pretty soon it'll all be history. We signed up for just 75 Mbps service today, but it is theoretically three times faster than what I'm using to post this.
