Congratulations JackDynne! :D

I can feel the pain you had while in dialup -- I was in the same pit until this year.

Enjoy the new speeds,

:p wasie,

I gonna git you sucka! :D

I know it's not the quickest compared to some of the pipes out there but Man-O-Man don't ever take it for granted ;)

Dialup blew for the last 7 years and because of location (mine) it was all I could get :)

/JD

btw - what you got? cable? what's your package?

Voodoo 4th Aug 05 06:34 PM

Please say a prair for me. I am still on 7KB/s. I think I can actually hear the data comming in due to the slow speed.

Hey JD;

I am on the Comcast Gold tier; they are moving to 8megs down, and 768 any day now, so I guess they are testing my area...
The regular comcast tier is now 6megs down/384 up, and if you can get Comcast cable, they are offerring that regualr tier for 19.95 for 6 months!!

/Voodoo, prayers are being said as we speak!!

Good Point, KC...Although lately, I have had alot of issues with Vonage..."All circuits are busy, please try your call again later"..
Got that message ALOT this week.

There ain't nothing worse than to have dsl/cable for 3 years, then you buy a house and they say YES it is available, then you close on the house and move in and they say NO it isn't available. And then you think, oh no I have to go back to dial-up. Or disconnect the phone service all together and do without internet altogether (Yes I was this mad at them).

But luckily I finally talked to someone that got me hooked up at their slow speed (1.5 down 384 up), not the 3 down I was hoping for, but hey it beats dial-up.

I feel for you Dave.

Congrats, JD on finally getting it.

JacKDynne 5th Aug 05 07:28 AM

Congrats JacKDynne!

Once you go broadband, you can never turn back. I was on the same boat as you for such a long time. All the neighboring towns were getting cable (DSL wasn't an option since my location was too far from the C/O) that I was getting frustrated... Then, I remember like it was yesterday, the day before Thanksgiving in 2003, it became available where I live. I have never jumped into my car so fast and rushed on over to order it!

Anyways, congrats again and enjoy! :D

wase4711 6th Aug 05 11:28 PM

Well, Cybie, just because I am an old fart, doesn't mean I still don't speak the lingo..:eek:

I guess using the work "lingo" tells you how much of an old fart i really am!!:D
