Had I never HAD broadband I probably wouldn't miss it so much, but now that I had it for a fewl years, and now it's gone....screw dial up man... Jeezum Crow!
Ray Jones Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 it's kind of easy to get used to it if you have dial up at home and dsl at work. . .. or like that..
Mike Windu Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 hahaha... I have the worst dial up ever... wally world internet It's cheap though, so I don't mind too much...
ET Warrior Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 Well, I have a switch that I use to connect Xbox's for LAN games, and it works well, but I dont know how it would compare to a router for networking your computers to the internet, so I'm no help. Dial-up is evil. Pure evil.
Ray Jones Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 muhaha. haha. mu. ha. i remember the old bbs times with 9600 conntections and more then 14400 wasnt allowed. *sigh*

Mike Windu Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 Mighty shame that is *nods head* But you'll get used to the 56k soon Groovy... you'll come to accept it as your only source of internet.

Darth Groovy Posted July 8, 2004 Author Posted July 8, 2004 Well as of now I am using broadband again. However the problem is only partially solved. My computer will work, but not my dad's computer. Now could it be where I have it connected? Does it matter what port I have the computers connected too? Or do I have to do something in Windows to get it working again? Any help again is appreciated. PS, curse all of you in this thread that expect me to "get used to dial-up". That is just plain mean!
obi Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 But dial-up isn't so bad when you have Juno Speedband. It rocks. (most of the time, anyway)
Astrotoy7 Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 Originally posted by Darth Groovy Well as of now I am using broadband again. great, does that mean you're gonna be back full time now...... bugger mtfbwya
Captain Wilson Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Originally posted by Darth Groovy Yesterday around 3am my high speed internet crapped out. Nothing strange, happens about 2-3 times a week in this house. The problem usually gets resolved, by unplugging the router and modem for a while, then plugging them back in. I to have this problem. Most odd. Neway gd to hear you got the probby fixed
Darth Groovy Posted July 9, 2004 Author Posted July 9, 2004 Right now I have no broadband, because there is an outage in my area. I am supposed to call them if the probem is not resolved withing 24 hours. The problem with this is that my dad and I both work screwy hours, and connot solve our problem when service is not even available. As of now I am posting this on dial up, which I have decided to keep as a contingency, because frankly, comcast is the worst company ever. I will update you all, when updates happen. Don't care what any of you say, dial up is crap once you have got used to broadband.
Mike Windu Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Hahaha, I'll be just like you in a couple years, foaming at the mouth when I have to leave my college high speed internet and go back home to wal mart connect Till then, ahh... the luxury of not tasting broadband and being dissappointed at 56k
Kain Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 I thought you were going to be absent! Right now I'm seeing more Groovy then I usually do, and you're not supposed to be here! BUGGER OFF!! Just kiddin man...or am I?*DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUN* Expand your Imagi-Nation
Darth Groovy Posted July 10, 2004 Author Posted July 10, 2004 Well: Yesterday, the broadband came back up, but only my Dad's PC was working, and not mine. Today my pc works, but not my dad's. Why does this thread feel like a "dear diary" type thing?!
