That's what I'm talking about. I got Comcast back in early 98 and I haven't looked back since.

6 years? Wow! Back in 1998, I was on 28.8K. It was crawling. Then I moved to college, and discovering the school connection was like discovering religion for me, totally mind blowing. First 2 semesters, all I did was download movies and mp3s.

No, It'll show up in 2 days and he'll have it up and running as soon as he get it

Anyway, have fun

I switched over to @home in 2000 or 2001....I dont remember which. Stayed with it when they became attbi, still stuck with it when they changed over to comcast. Couldnt go back to dialup if you paid me. I have considered DSL, but that would mean I would have to get a landline again....

You make it sound like such a death sentence. Actually, getting high-speed Internet is a great thing.

Be prepared to spend more time online. And say goodbye to all that free disk space....

I don't know about Verizon, but with SBC I got the equipment a week earlier than they said I would receive it, and plugging in the modem right away told me they activated my line a week early as well.

Succumbed? More like enlightened!
