   It's like being able to breath!
  I just got hooked up with cable! 5mbps is what I'm subscribed to, and bandwidthplace gives me a rating of 2.6, which while not what I'm paying for I hear is good considering it's 7 in the evening.Now I need something big to download. Hahaha!And it's time to set up xbox live! Hahaha!What a wonderful upgrade from 40kbps. Hahaha!   
  You know what's weird? Around this area, you can barely find anyone with a 56K modem or that sort.In fact, we find it quite funny and primitive when someone talks about internet over phone.   ;Quote:Original post by KattaNow I need something big to download. Hahaha!I'm sure you've already aware, but I will remind you of the vast amounts of porn on the internet.   ;Quote:Original post by PouyaYou know what's weird?

If that happens to you, as it happens to me every now and then, reset your modem by unpluging it for around 3 minutes and replug it and you're all back and set. This technic, luckily works with my ISP, I don't know about yours so don't be surprised if it doesn't.- xeddiex   ;Quote:Original post by Sr_GuapoQuote:Original post by KattaNow I need something big to download.

Hahaha!Xbox live+ Friends with Xbox Live+ Headset = HappyAnd Halo 2's still pretty much the best XBL game.;Quote:Original post by KattaIs it sad that the first thing I downloaded was Assassins Creed trailers, and then Suprime Commander stuff?What was the third? [wink]   ;  Welcome to the world of higher bandwidth [smile] I liked my move from 56k to 512k ADSL. I've recently moved to 4MBit Cable, and its, well, as you have said - Like being able to breathe! Even when downloading, you notice little slow down since not much uses all your bandwidth, lovely, although I would much rather than a huge ass pipe connecting the world to me, with as much bandwidth as my PCI bus.   ;Quote:Original post by ranakorhell around here i find it quite funny when people talk about regular cable or low speed DSL( as in 4mb or less)When I was in highschool, our computer teacher told us how when we're older, we'd be telling our kids about how we used the phone line to connect to internet, and they'll find it both funny and strange.I'm 24 now, don't have any kids, and I already find it funny and shocking that people use phone line connection.I guess I'll have to change that to: I'll be telling my kids how we used to use a 1.5 mbps connection on cable to connect to Internet.
