Got cable!

SnakeBite · October 21st, 2005

I haven't posted a thread for a long time here, but since I'm getting a 2mbit cable connection next week, I couldn't resist

After nearly 7 years on dialup (56k, at our old house, 44k here, and 14k under linux. yes, I was using 14k at some times) and borrowing my neighbour's mbit connection, brining my HD to friends to get the latest anime fansubs, I can finally leech with my own connection. I have to pay most of it myself, but it's worth it. the biggest hindrance was to get permission from my parents, but now it's done. omg I am happy.

Congrats dude! Once you go cable, you never go back lol... well unless you fall back on your payments

Cid Highwind · October 21st, 2005

I don't think you will ever go back from broadband at all since most of the times it's cheaper than 56k to begin with. Congratulations and welcome to the club

Anime sucks. You could at least download something useful with that new connection.

Cable? Well, now that a fast connection in contrast. But I thought the cable = sharing speed with nearest resident that use the same cable? Is it cable or DSL? =_="" Cause I heard downloading is not go well with cable connection >__<.

As long as you don't have a monthly bandwidth cap, Cable is awesome. Bandwidth caps suck

You'll never get off dialup Bansai, or get a CPU over 600MHz.
