Just upgraded from 56k to Broadband...

Heh...we can't get cable or dsl service out where we live. The phone company promised that they'd have a dsl connection box built within three miles of us a while back, but they got bought out by another company who scrapped the plans.. Hopefully I'll be able to post some good news on that situation in a thread like this sometime in the future...

Hell, they live in rabbit hutches on top of each other. They probably wired the whole place with one spool!

Dude.. a few weeks ago I went from 28.8 modem dial up to DSL.

I feel your joy.
