Going from t3 lan to 56k.

[Theslowone]

I sit here almost in tears.
The days of high speed internet is gone, at least for 8 mnths until my co-op is overwith.

Something i once took for granted now I wish I had.

Anyway, haven't been around for a while just wrote to say hey to all.

 

[Azraele]

I feel your pain. My first introduction to the Internet was a college 10mbps ethernet line. Then I graduated and now I sit on 56k. It stinks

 

[ArkAoss]

uh ouch, now im even more depressed

 

[RGN]

one word: bummer

 

[Harrald]

All i can say is


WOW Huge Bummer!!!

 

[kantonburg]

All I can say is SUOrangeman has that beat. He was telling me he went from T1 to 14.4....now that depressed me

 

[JC]

Well, since I've never seen better than 31k anywhere I've lived...

Must be like going back to a 14" monitor after having a 21"/17" dual monitor setup (I surf large, just slooowly )

 

[hpkeeper]

ick... ouch....

 

[The Wildcard]

I feel your pain every winter and summer break. A moment of silence.......lol.

 

[ArkAoss]

ohh so thats what happened to suorangeman, aint seen him in a week, he's on a 14.4 ouch, any one remember the old 2,400 i remember our first, cost like 130 bux

I'm still hoping one day I will win the lottery and be able to a) install a t3 in my house or b) run fiber optic cables to my house and get gigabit service.

I'm on DSL and I still yearn for my school's t3...


Is there something like AA but for people suffering from I-net denial?

[prodigy]

I second The_Wildcard's statement. :frown:

 

[Terrorism101]

i know what you mean...

the terrible screech of dial up haunts me...

 

[nullshark]

Now you really are the slow one

 

[Rakkis]

"the terrible screech of dial up haunts me..."

Actually.. I kind of like it. I hear it every once in a while and it reminds me of the good old days

 

[HomerSapien]

i went from one of 3 dorms on 6 t-1s on 10mbit lan to one of 12 dorms on 10mbit lan. I am now getting 28.8 speeds when i used to download at 250k/sec. And they are teasing us by saying they are going to be putting in an oc-3 for the past year and a half now. I did find out it is going in the semester after i get an apartment.

 

[dcdomain]

I feel you... I was just on my old computer... 28.8 modem... cuz I refused to install AOL on my new one. Fortunately, a good friend lent me his Rutgers dial up account, so now I'm surfing on a 56k winmodem... still no T1 though. Probably the only thing I'm looking forward to back at school. Hate everything else...

edit: My DSL line is supposed to get activated in a week or two... but you know how the DSL story works... it'll more than likely be summer before they finally activate that thing... damn VERIZON...

 

[snut]

ack, sucks to be u

 

[Zedfu]

ouch, that one's gotta hurt!

 

[bigbootydaddy]

ditch the second phone line and get cable.

 

[jAcKeL]

Almost samething happened to me except i went from a T-1 to a 56k... don't worry too much about it... u really tend to get used to it... and when u get back ur fast connection... U'll LOVE IT!!!
