Holy Freakin Cow
After 7 years of dialup (don't ask) FINALLY got broadband - finally available in my area with cable and look at the speed!
2005-08-04 05:26:35 EST: 3363 / 433 Your download speed : 3444267 bps, or 3363 kbps. A 420.4 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed : 444311 bps, or 433 kbps. Yippee!! w00t! * goes off the deep end :D /JD |
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, McoreD |
Danke m8 :)
My home connection now blows my T1 at work away, downstream at least :D /JD |
Its about time you moved into the 21st century, dude, but you still have a ways to go!! :p
Your connection is: 7982 Kbps (about 8 Mbps) You downloaded at: 974 kB/s Your TRuSPEED: ^info^ 8541 Kbps :: 1042 kB/s (7% overhead factored) Bottom Line: You are running: 143 times faster than 56K and can download 1 megabyte in 1.05 second(s) |
: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? |
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.
Cheerz Dave |
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!! |
Congrats JacKDynne & welcome to da club... :D
Voodoo a special prayer has been activated for ur dialup conn. ;) Just did a random test using Cox preferred plan (4000/512) 2005-08-04 16:42:20 EST: 4012 / 503 Your download speed : 4108444 bps, or 4012 kbps. A 501.519 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed : 515260 bps, or 503 kbps. A 62.897 KB/s transfer rate. 974 kB/s Nice wase4711 ... ;) |
Let the internet addictions begin! I was so excited to get my first broadband modem, I don't think I left my desk for a week afterwards.

My heart goes out to yah Dave - sheesh you got one of those modems from the movie "War Games"? :D :P :D /JD |

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. |
Danke adams :)

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 -SlickVic78 |

/me uses notebook to disguise uncomfortable incident regarding his trousers :D Sheesh, I know I am a late bloomer in all this but MAN whatta blast! :) /JD |
I am calling your boss and telling him you not only are playing with your TESTES, but you boosted a G4 Powerbook!!
|

/JD |
I haven't heard the term boosted used since first year college.

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 |
