Xfinity replaced the lines and the modem...

 Good afternoon everyone,

Yesterday afternoon the senior tech as Xfinity who has been monitoring my issues came out to replace the line that leads to the modem and the modem itself, I can say I did see a mark improvement in terms of latency in Overwatch. While we did have the modem go down fully suddenly, I was aware of the possibility because I was told it may resent randomly due to installing various firmware updates. The modem was changed from an XB7 to an XB8... and one big difference between the two models is the XB8's light can actually be seen from different angles.

 I was also told that this point if I continue to have issues the culprit is either going to be my ethernet card is going bad which is unlikely because the same issues I had were also on the Xbox One and Series consoles.. or the issue is going to be with the 'plant' that serves the area. They also used a howler to test to see if any noise is being ingested into the lines and they came up negative, which again narrows things down to two possibilities.

As for the Overwatch fun, well we had a solid night on all fronts when it comes of matches. We of course were joined by PandaSweet for a lot of fun, and I picked up two plays of the game as Moira and Mei. Other characters used included D.va, Reinhardt, and Ashe. 

I also learned that all Overwatch accounts are being merged with the launch of Overwatch 2, and that cross progression will be a thing with skins and achievements, which is means on the console side we'll get the achievement boost as well!

Phillies totally blew their chances to make headway towards the Playoffs with how badly they lost to the Mets this weekend. Again, I predicted this last week.

Also my fantasy baseball teams completely had terrible weeks...so there is a good chance I will not make the playoffs in either fantasy league.
