Re: 42nd Bridge construction

There is a few spots of this happening up in Sioux City area on I29 too. They are really bad. One thing that I did see is both are over a railroad. I am wondering if that is something that caused the issue too. There is a few other spots outside of Sioux City on I29, but these are not on bridges too.

Re: Be Careful with Century Link

I have been with CenturyLink even before it was Qwest. I kinda gave up on CenturyLink for Verizon 5G Home Internet too.

CenturyLink was still stuck at 12Mbps/.7Mbps for me, and I seen the need for faster speeds. With Verizon 5G Home Internet, I get way better speeds.
