DSL rocks baby!!!!

[OSushiO]

Hello everyone, just got my dsl modem today from winfire. I guess their service is not as bad as i thought it would be. Connecting at 1,536,000 bps. Finally got rid of the old fashion 56k modem. What a new year resolution!!!

damn you luck SOB...I actually signed up for their service a while back too, but I got lazy and stop responding to their emails. Maybe I shoulda stuck w/ it.

I signed up seven months ago but still cant get it. I hope it isn't as bad as people say when i do get it. I have heard alot of bad things.



OSushiO:

What is the plan you sign up for ??

Is that the speed you actually get when downloading a file ??


I signed up for the $20 dollar a month plan.

the plan i signed up for is also $20.00. However, i think quality of the phone line also plays an important role during downloading. I was downloading directx 8.0 today, at one point i was downloading at 100k a sec. Well, i guess i could be lucky.

Damn... I recently got 'activated' but they haven't sent out the package yet, and I haven't received my modem yet that I ordered from another place...

Hope the service is good... how's the stupid toolbar?

 

[OSushiO]

The tool bar's pain in the a$$, but i've heard there's a way to get rid of it though

 

[dcdomain]

Yeah.. think the easiest way to get rid of the toolbar and ads (if you went for the free service) is to set up a server and run your comps through the server... but I don't want to leave a comp on. So going the router route...

Thank God you don't have Telocity DSL. I do, but it's pretty much the best broadband thing I have going. "My Telocity" DSL is down more than it is up. I can get Road Runner too, but it's choked big time on the uplink. I still retain a trusty 56K ISP account for backup when Telocity does it's daily crash.
