Ah, the SEC. As T.J. Moe put it on media day, “the girls are prettier, the air is fresher and the toilet paper is thicker.”

Now, we can’t actually vouch for that, but we’re still psyched about the new conference. So it only made sense for us to renew our sponsorship of the Tigers in time to celebrate their first SEC game on September 8th, against the Georgia Bulldogs.

Come visit Socket at Kid City, August 25th at the Holiday Inn and Expo Center in Columbia!

Kid City is an event dedicated to providing resources and information for parents, while letting kids have a day of activities and fun. From the obstacle course, to the bounce house, to appearances from Elmo and Dora the Explorer, kids will have no shortage of reasons to want to stay.

Socket will be attending with a large supply of balloons and temporary tattoos to hand out, so make sure to stop by and say hello.

We got word last week that Mediacom is now issuing tighter bandwidth caps for new high-speed Internet customers.  And from the latest Comcast earnings call it is evident where they plan to increase margins with their services.

Many other providers are also limiting data usage for their customers. They claim the policies will reduce congestion on the network and ensure that a few heavy users don't slow down connections for customers who use what the provider deems a reasonable amount of data.
