BWAHAHAHHA Soybomb got a cable modem today. Sweet. I didn't know the internet was this fast for anyone ;) The only downside now is my phone keeps ringing since the telemarketers can get through! i'll make myself feel better by not doing my homework and whopping up in a game of Quake 2 paintball!!!! I just had to share my joy, sorry ;)

BTW, I'm happy for you. Really.

I'm not the least bit jealous that there's no DSL or cable out in the middle of BFE.

LOL nah viper, i'll pass, but LOB seems desperate for attention, better watch yourself around him ;) Btw: if it makes you feel any better they're really overcharging us on it hehe.

I also notice i get antry when i'm connected to a crappy server that cant give me any more than like 3K/s!

Congadulations!! I remember when I first got cable.

Viper GTS,

You do tech support for dsl but you can't get it. Kind of ironic isn't it?

Overcharged? Hell, I'd wait in line all night to be overcharged for cable.

Come on, will somebody please overcharge me for high-speed internet access? $100/month sounds good to me...

[EDIT]Yes, it's very ironic. Customers always ask me "So how do you like DSL?" That's a very good way to get hung up on.[/EDIT]

I figure I'm a prime candidate for satellite access, as I'm on a hill & have a clear view of damned near anywhere. I like the 500 kb/s transfer rates, but the ping time will probably suck even worse than my 56K dial does. But then again, I never play games, so the 500 kb/s would be really nice...

Supposedly Radio Shack is currently selling satellite systems with new Compcraps, but it will be a while before you can get it by itself. Hell, by then I may be moved out anyway.

You better hope you're out in boonyland where no one uses cable modems. Oh well, I could care less I have you beat with my T1 (or was it T3). :p
