Re: Internet choices for the greater Omaha area

I've had good luck with T-Mobile, but I have an unobstructed line of sight to the tower. I average around 200 megabits down, sometimes 300 on stuff I use Ethernet on.

Unless people are downloading files, they don't need a lot of the bandwidth they're paying for.

Re: Taco Bueno (NO Metro Locations)

Taqueria Tijuana on 24th and Q is pretty good too.

I preferred Bueno over the other chains. I guess opening the first store in an area where you couldn't throw a dead cat without hitting a restaurant, and the other one way the heck up North by Immanuel probably weren't good locations for success.
