Hardware I returned to Xfinity this afternoon. The Arris telephony modem was about 20 years old. The cable box / DVT was not much younger.

We dropped cable TV, VOIP, and stopped renting modems (bought my own Arris S33v3) very recently, saving hundreds of dollars per month on the bill.

Spent most of the afternoon on my back doing velcro cable management under our desks. However, this is probably the best photo I've taken while down there: Gandalf looking down on me from his cat bed that is hidden away between/behind our monitors:

Spectrum (company) had an Internet and cable outage in Walla Walla today from 11:57 am to around 1:50 pm. They never acknowledged this publicly, not even trying to explain what went wrong. So much for their "99.9% reliability" (this isn't even the first outage this year) luckily I was able to do other things in this time, and was pretty much unaffected, other than my telehealth meeting abruptly ending.
