What type of internet connection to you have?

[LiNuX]

What type of internet connection do you have? i have regular dsl 768k, wat about you?

[Twigz]

I wish I had that DSL 768k speed, I try to convince my mom to get it...it's always a stick end of the bargain...ah, well...I'm good with my 56k dial-up modem, been using it for 11 years...

[LiNuX]

lol wow 11 years, i used dial up 11 years ago lol, no jk, i think netscape was my first internet provider, then i got aol for like a year, then canceled, then got cable, i think it was comcast, or optimum online, dont remember fully, i wasnt into computers back then, and then went back to dial up cuz cable cost too much, then finally im using dsl after begging my parents to get it for 2 years, i finally convinced them, just beg twigz, ur mom will come around lol :D

[Twigz]

LOL, asking my mom to give me DSL is like asking Homer to stop eating...

[LiNuX]

LMAO, why would u use that analogy? lol, just annoy her, thats the other thing i did, i stayed up all nite playing my ps2 with the tv really loud, that would bother them, it still took 'em a couple months to come around lol

[Twigz]

It was the first thing I could think of...and I would try that...if only my PS2 WORKED! lol

[Twigz]

Good news, folks, my mom CAVED IN! LOL ;D, I will be getting my DSL in the next week...lying does work sometimes...

[LiNuX]

lol cool, u serious? or kidding, but if ur serious, thats good, wat r u gonna use the dsl for anway? lol wat service is it anyway? verizon? and one more thing, it'll take a lot more than a week for ur "dsl" to come, cuz ur mom will probably order it next week, it can take about a month for ur modem to come by, then u have to wait for ur activation date lol, it took me a whole 3 months for all of those to happen, cuz i remember i ordered in october and my connection worked fully in like mid december, just before christmas break lol, good luck ;D <-- just a heads up on what you should expect

[Twigz]

I'm as serious as a heart attack, and I mean she's ordering it next week, but whatever you say...and the service might be either Verizon or Road Runner, not sure yet.

[diablo]

congratulations man :D i have regular dsl too, verizon. and road runner isnt verizon. i wouldnt recommend it, it is cable, it does have faster speed, but it costs a hella of a lot more, and if ur gonna be doing a lotta important things, the cheapest dsl would be and should be fine, 768k is regular dsl, if u download big files or upload and need to do them in a short amount of time, then road runner would be for u, otherwise get verizon, i think its cheapest with 17 bucks a month

thats great, and diablo is right, road runner isnt dsl, its cable, much faster and way more expensive, i know that u dont really need high speed that much, but dsl u need sometimes, i also wouldnt recommend road runner, it costs too much and the things u do arent worth it, even if u download big files, dsl should be enough, good luck getting it soon! we can probably use vent without lag now lol ;)

[diablo]

i dont use vent or teamspeak, regular phone is fine, but sometimes it is usefull in cs scrims and cal matches

[Twigz]

Actually the service I'm getting is AOL High Speed, and according to them, the stuff will come in 2-5 "business" days, but I donno if that will hold true...stay tuned for more of the saga...

[diablo]

im not a big aol fan, but i think their high speed price is $25 a month, and in my opinion, even if the dsl speed is the same as verizon, verizon is still better and cheaper, i think u can get it for about $17.99 a month now, i almost got aol high speed once, but i dont like aol

[LiNuX]

yeah i hate aol, get verizon if ur gonna get dsl, u have my full recommendation, not just for the service, but for the price, dont overpay for bad service, and i think verizon has faster upload and download speeds than aol high speed, not sure, will check later

[TheKing]

Cable internet high speed was the best thing that ever happended to me... It like a whole new level of surfing the web from dial-up. There are so much things to explore like youtube , dailymotion, and games.

you can do that with dsl lol and more, usually big businesses have cable

[crazay]

i have aol too, even though i dont like it, i would get high speed but i dont need that much more speed for the things that i do

[Twigz]

I don't like AOL either...but I have been forced to stay with the people I have, and that means $10.95 goes to AOL and Verizon gets $14.95 for a total of $25.90...the powers that be want it that way...LOL

[diablo]

u pay $25 for ur dial up connection? or for the high speed aol, cuz for either of them, cancel and get a dry dsl line from verizon. its $18 bucks now, and its cheaper than aol by a whole lot, trust me and dont get aol

[Twigz]

Yeah I used to pay that much...then I came to my senses (which is rare) and I'm getting DSL soon.

[Sypher]

I have my internet connected through our local cable provider. Its really fast although the computer I have is going slow cause I've had it for so long :'( I'm going to get a new one pretty soon anyways. I've been meaning too but just haven't gotten up to go get it LOL !!!
