Pulling 960K off usenet

[raptorsoft2000]

This new cable modem rocks!!! It's not actually new, but the speed is faster.... I went from 5Mbits/sec to 8Mbits/sec, and I'm thinking this is fast as hell!

Here are the details....

Speed: 8Mbits
Price: $69.95/month
Tops at: 960Kbits/sec on usenet server (Giganews)
Cool Factor: 12/10 (Yes, better than perfect!)
Geek Factor: 8/10
Raw Pronnage/hour: More than necessary
Worth it? Hell yea!


I wanna know your feedback... How fast is yours and what do you pay per month... If you could include the top speed you've gotten and where from (i.e. usenet, irc, web, ftp) that would be cool too.

Boston Legal has its finer moments. The fact that the clients aren't complete douches also helps the plot along by not making their actions too obvious and is enjoyable.

Or perhaps I am not an idiot, and tried, in the most vague manner possible, to get you to tonedown your talk about what it is that you are doing.

Sorry, didn't really get it at first the gist of what you were saying. But there are some things on usenet that aren't as illegal as a.b.dvd and the likes. But I was just comparing that as that's the fastest I've been able to get. Not very many sites have connections to a backbone like usenet servers.
