Interesting Fact About The U.S. Senate

Something I never knew . . .

Originally, senators were selected by the state legislatures, not by popular elections. By the early years of the 20th century, the legislatures of as many as 29 states had provided for popular election of senators by referendums.[16] Popular election to the Senate was standardized nationally in 1913 by the ratification of the 17th Amendment.

Dallas is the nation’s fastest wireless city

Dallas is the nation’s fastest wireless city! When averaged, our downloads in Dallas came out to 3.6Mbps down, faster than any other city we tested.

Of course, that fact masks big differences in Dallas’s networks. Verizon 4G, as usual, was the fastest network in Dallas. T-Mobile almost tied with Dallas-based MetroPCS for second place, with MetroPCS’s slower download speeds more than balanced out by great upload speeds and very reliable connections. Dallas was the fastest MetroPCS city in the nation.

Dallas also saw our single fastest download result in 21 cities: an staggering 37.6Mbps down with Verizon 4G on Royal Lane in North Dallas. Your mileage may vary, of course.
