OMFGZORZ!!! TCoS Is Finally Getting High Speed!

TheCloudOfSmoke · March 17th, 2008, 23:51

Yes fellas, it's true. I'm finally going to be able to surf the internetz while talking on the phone! I'm also going to be able to watch a one minute YouTube clip without waiting 20 minutes for it to download! I just signed up today for Verizon high speed internet 768 Kbps. Nothing too special, but it's better than what I'm using currently. Verizon FIOS isn't in my area yet, so I can't get that. It's going to be $12.99 for the first 6 months, and then $17.99 for months 7-12. It took me four calls to finally get someone to finally help me set this thing up, but it's okay since all of the stuff that I need is going to be here on Friday. I feel like I'm a part of some special club now.

Now, take your phone modem and light it on fire...

Squall-Leonhart · March 18th, 2008, 00:24

no, the phone modem is handy in times when the cable side of things goes down.

**blueshogun96** · March 18th, 2008, 01:28

congratz smokems! Now you can download your pr0n 100x faster with blazing speeds

After going broadband, you'll never go back to 56k ever again! I'm supprized you put up with all that 56k bulls@#% all this time. Even though my internet connection constantly dies on me and my d/l speed is only 73kb/sec average, but it beats clogging up the phone line and s@#% speeds. Have a blast d/ling stuff.

Not really no.

Doing downloads/torrenting while playing a online game = The online game will lag, a freakin lot. Hell, he'll get disconnected, quite simply

Yeah, torrents are the perfect way to make Parkinson's law work for networking systems. Simply put, he will be able to do the same he was able to before while running any P2P applications

Hey don't fap too much.

A bit is ok, but habitual fapping everyday can lower testosterone levels alot and sap your energy, as well as effect your concentration and memory.

I was going to mention that in my first post but then I decided to leave it out at the last minute.

That was one of my main incentives to getting high speed. Trying to secretly download porn on my gf's high speed connection when she's downstairs at her house gets old after a while. Plus, thumbnail sites are switching over to videos now instead of pics. I have to get with the times.

I know we were dialup brothers, but there comes a time in everyone's lives where you just get sick of not being able to watch YouTube videos. I hope you can understand my decision 56k brother. I do apologize for the pain that this news has brought to you.

Anyways, since I've been working, I have a few extra bucks. So now I can afford it.

I know all about that from first hand experience (lol, first hand on the topic of fapping).

A snail has more energy than me because of it.

Now that you have broadband, you don't need your girlfriend anymore.
