For some reason the VoIP part works perfectly, but I can barely browse the web. Seems like the Ethernet port may have died. Arrgh.

Stupid neighbors and their slow ass dsl.

Gonna have to pay Cablevision a visit in the morning. :(

I thought you meant your cable internet was slow because your wireless was unsecured, and thus, being stolen.

No open WiFi networks around me. Tons of ATT DSL users, and ATT DSL modem/routers have some form of encryption enabled by default.

Did you try the standard unplug modem for at least a minute?

Go walk around any downtown area with a laptop and notice how many unsecured nodes there are.

Nah, I dunno wtf. Modem worked great for 4 years straight. The telephone part works, but the Internet is super slow -- probably twice as slow as a 56k modem.

I changed routers, reran the cable and restarted the modem a few times...and nothing. I can't help but laugh at the whole thing though; when I was a cable technician I had to fix people's internet problems at their home. hahaha, it sucks to be on the other end of it.

Not really. I could be slowed to 300 baud and still have more than enough bandwidth to drive you P&N'ers nuts.

As a matter of fact, I should go and pay you guys a visit since I really can't browse much of the web right now.

Nah, too lazy to go to Cablevision today. I might leave it until Monday though. Slow internet is not killing me too much. As long as the phone line is stable, it isn't too bad.

I guess it was just the modem's time.

My mom still doesn't realize I set up a WiFi network at home for my phone and laptop. She's always amazed I get such good 'reception' up there. I love my mom!

Please paste a quote where any of the people you mentioned say soliders should "rot" in iraq. *crickets*

I do recall Ann Coulter saying that she wishes a plane flew into the new york times building. Yeah, that's patriotic. Go Ann! Murder americans! YAY!.

You're intellectually lazy.
