ET Warrior Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 It's true everyone, my 56k days are behind me. Got it hooked up today and i'm livin the dream. IT IS SO FAST!! Holy cow, downloading at 90 Kbps.........now that is nice. I know there are people with faster, so don't brag, I'm upgrading from downloads at 2.4 kbps. :D:D:D Edit- i had to laugh, I told you all not to brag, but here I am braggin........Now that's what you'd call Ironic....... And all you out there still with 56K......I know your pain, and i am sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbguy1211 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 isnt the broadband a wonderful thing? after having it for only a short period of time you'll wonder how you were ever able to use dial up in the past for so long. you can download porn stuff so much faster and play multiplayer games over the net! multiplayer anything over the net is REALLY addictive!!!

BawBag™ Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I think i'll make a point about getting Broadband for JA's release. But does it really remove lag from online gaming completely? I don't think so...... But thats my 56k talking....... [comicbookguy]Must have faster nudity.[/comicbookguy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Welcome to the REALtime world - where things happen at a normal speed, rather than the click to download - cook dinner, watch TV, and then it's finished speed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
•-BLaCKouT-• Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Yep, all of the above ET Warrior: You've taken your first step into a larger world oh, and BB: I find it doesn't remove all lag, but it takes out a damn chunk of it! Bear in mind that if you're paying £15 a month for 'any time' internet access, it's only another £3 a week for Broadband (after any setup costs). WELL worth it, trust me. B.

Well B., negotiations are underway. I am willing to pay extra for BB and the powers that be seem to accept. I reckon BT are still offering a free box and set-up, which could be good. *Logs on to BTopenworld* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Fisher Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 TS, can you get ISDN? It has one or two phone lines w/ it, so you can get, then cancel your phone, and use the ISDN phone line. That's what my dad is thinking of doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
