ISP monopolies suck. Spectrum/formerly TWC has a monopoly in my area and while their service is good and the gov't has prohibited them from instituting caps for something like 8 years (part of the agreement for Charter to buy TWC) it costs me am ungodly amount each month and I'm betting on caps as soon as that agreement ends.

Back on topic, I just realized 12:01 Pacific is 10:01 Central, so I'll be staying up late Saturday night to catch episode 1.

Ours is Comporium and they prevent other ISPs from coming into our tri-county area.. They charge me under $60/month for crappy internet speeds :-[

Get a better ISP?
Can't.. No other ISPs are allowed to come to our area because our local ISP owns all the lines in town..
Hoping Google Fiber makes some in-roads in the next year or so :-\

Move to a better town? Jeez, I thought you were a MST3K fan?
FINE

You're going the wrong way. It's 2:01 central.

Crap. You're right. Sunday viewing it is then.

Look on the bright side: This way it's "Next Sunday A.D."!

For some reason I thought it was going to be Friday night  that Season 11 will appear (or Saturday morning depending on how you look at). Well, I'll be staying up late Saturday for sure, I guess. Hope Netflix doesn't break.

To clarify, Sunday is only for the backers and is going to be on a special site. The rest of the world gets it on Netflix on the following Friday.

How bad is the cap? My provider has a cap and I've never come close to hitting it. I do Netflix, gaming, downloads, and all that stuff.

300 mbps for under $60 dollars includes uploads & downloads
My YouTube videos eat a lot of that up :-\

Ah.

Too bad it's too late to be a backer. I was both and distracted and concerned about money during the kickstarter.

So I tested the link, and sure enough, we've got movie sign! 24 hours, starting now!

I probably won't be able to watch until late tomorrow, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't stay up or watch first thing in the morning, so for those who want to talk without spoiling it for those who have to wait (Or those who didn't chip in to the Kickstarter), here's the official spoiler thread:
