Wired up here on Webster sq/Tatnuck area.

1gig $89.99/month.

Speeds as expected in a general range of 400Mbps-1gig with spikes to 2.4 (when not running through my work docking station which caps at about 100 Mbps download/120 upload).

Generally, FiOS upload speed has been as fast, if not faster than download.

Called Charter to cancel, counter offer was 500Mbps download for $45 for a year. But considering I wasn't unhappy with their download but abysmal upload speeds (I dropped to constant 2Kbps upload speeds during working hours and FiOS price is locked in for 10 years… charter has been raising prices what feels like every year - last bill was $78. Just for internet) I said no thanks.

Your link only talks about nuisance ones existing - that’s not necessarily an issue of predation but of human encroachment. It says nothing to your assertion of overwhelmingly harmful effects on the deer population.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.wcvb.com/article/nahant-massachusetts-teams-with-wildlife-officials-to-shoot-kill-nuisance-coyotes/42190999

Coyote have no natural predators in Massachusetts and haven’t for at least a century. That means a disproportionate effect on the deer population and other problems that come from them being more habituated in residential settings.

There are like, 4 tables inside, not really a sit down with the family and eat kind of place. Mostly because it’s small and there are lots of books for sale right next to the tables and if you have younger kids it’s very distracting. We usually take our stuff to go.

That said, in the nice weather they have a couple tables right outside that I’d be more inclined to sit at with my kid.
