narfblat Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 My parents had been considering getting a fast internet for months. When our Dial-up connection refused to work, my parents finally decided to get DSL. Everything loads much faster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narfblat Posted May 28, 2004 Author Share Posted May 28, 2004 Actually, I didn't sabotage the modem. It may have been a problem with our ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poggle Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 My DSL takes about 3 seconds to open the swamp all posts from the beggining if I had to go back to dial up i'd probably have gone mad by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On slower days, it takes upto 3 whole minutes. So usually, I just wait for like, 15 seconds and hit the 'Stop' button. Most of the new posts come up like that.

Alegis Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 ive been on 56k for some years..I got adsl in jan 2002 or 2000, cant remember but it was the start of MP gaming at least damn i was so amazed the first secs i tried it...especially since ive waited MONTHS for it (delivering (free) router)... It took me 2 hours to download a flash 4/5 trial of 18 megs...First thing i did was dling a random demo of a game (300 megs), instantly surprised. I was getting sick of the dial up tune anyway congrats, the change you just made is enermous you'll waste more time on the web believe me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
