Finally....DSL!

$35/month for a year. That's a good price. Who is your provider? You switched from dial-up?

You know how expensive it is in Oz Land!

Pacbell SBC Yahoo up an running in a week!?!

Ow that hurt falling off my chair.

3 years ago it took 3 months to get my CrapBell account up. I'm sure things are a 1000% better so I'll bet 2 weeks.


Dichromatic for your viewing plesure...

Congrats! You will get much enjoyment from it.
shame the uploads is only 128kbit... bit it aint bad, specially for that price.

yep. I love my adsl. Its only a moderate 512/128... but its ALLWAYS 512/128 with never a slowdown.

Gaming pings to dedicated australian servers are fantastic too... sub 50ms in many cases.

$29 a month for 3 Mbit Cable.

1st month free, free installation

Some day I'll be rich and famous for inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.

That took some time... now you can spend (or waste) even more time at this forum.

I get 768/128 for $33.50... (I love the high euro course).

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dims when I turn it on

Can't get DSL. Paying $50 a month for cable.

My god is the US behind in high speed costs. I'm surprised, I mean, I thought the southern country below would have had more technological advancements in the wiring and lines than up here!

I got the same. True it's mad stable, but all of u r making me feel bad! To get anything near those speeds I'd pay like $200/ month which I'm not cool with- waste of money. Hmm, my friends next door have a dual T1.....maybe I can tap in?

Lol, where r u? We got some of that sh!t too. My specific region tho recently got digital cable (or were they planning to hmm).

Just got 2 mbit down/384kbit up cable for $45/month thru Time-Warner cable (Roadrunner) here, last month. The good part is that I am the only one on my node so far, and my node is in the same building as the DS3 backbone uplink, AND they are both only about 8 blocks from me! WHOO HOO!!!

However, my cap seems to be set at 3mbit/512kbit, as every time i bandwith test, I keep coming up over limit every time. Albeit, I am loving the "Extra" bandwidth....hehehe. God knows what I can do with it tho!

I love being able to host UT2K3 as if I were on a LAN! LOL!!

I live in Essex. Cablevision is the cable monopoly in my area. I had so many problems with them I switched to digital satellite TV. I know their Optimum Online service is rated very highly.

You must be a Cablevision subscriber. The price for Optimum Online drops if you are.

Optimum Online is currently charging $49.95/month for non-Cablevision subscribers. $44.95/month for Cablevision subscribers. Additional computers are $44.95/month.

<A HREF="http://www.optimumonline.com/index.jhtml;jsessionid=FTCOM2PFRKUU0CQLARQCF3QKBMCGCI5G?pageType=pricing" target="_new">Optimum Online Pricing</A>

They are offering a special right now. First 3 months $19.95 and a $50 savings bond if you sign up before the end of March. But the $44.95/month for each additional computer kills the deal.

How did you get $35/month?

I have a hub to share internet with the other computer. It's not the way to really do this, but I've had it for years. I might just get a crossover cable. Or make one.

I had cable TV service with Cablevision. Never Optimum Online. The problems I had were with cable TV service.

First off, I never had a problem with my TV or VCR before I got Cablevision. Cablevision uses a decoder box for cable TV. In their quest to find people pirating their service they send electronic "bullets" through their lines. I'm no electrical engineer. But after getting their service installed a TV and VCR became "fried." I called Cablevision and they swore their "bullets" had nothing to do with it. Just a coincidence?

Secondly their customer service and channel selection was terrible. The price was too high and their installation people didn't know much about installation.

We purchased a picture-in-picture TV. A big screen. I wanted to watch separate channels with the picture-in-picture. I had to tell the installers it would take two decoder boxes and show them how to wire it. Then they wanted to charge me an extra $10 delivery fee because I needed another box they already had on their truck!

I was constantly being charged for pay-per-views I didn't order or watch. I had to file complaints with the FCC to get refunds.

Their customer service people were very rude. And I'm pretty easy to get along with, believe it or not.

So when DirecTV became available in my area I grabbed it. No more Cablevision. 150 channels + 100 pay-per-view movie channels (which I still don't use but they're there if I want them). And I installed a dual LNB distribution multi-switch so I can hook up four TV's (or three TV's and my computer) to the satellite dish. All digital picture and dolby 5.1 sound on the shows that broadcast dolby signal.

SWEET!

And I thought of getting Optimum Online and splitting the access to two computers. But Cablevision calls that piracy. They want their extra $44.95/month. Verizon Online DSL gives instructions on how to hook up a router and split their broadband on as many machines as you like.

Speaking of routers, I think all lunksys routers should die. My friends have one, it never stops bugging em (and I;m the one who has to fix it). It changes settings by itself. Had a few probs like that with other linksys hehe. I gotta a netgear- wasd a b!tch to setup and I almost smashed it in it pissed me off so much, but now it works and I can forget about it.

Hilbert space is a big place.

Which model? I mean they're pretty good routers for the price, I just get pissed at it from time to time. At least it sets up without a hassle hehe.

Hilbert space is a big place.

Woohoo!!!
