Thank the Gods for DSL!

Dial-up will never be the same again. For now I have a DSL connection.

Of course the downside is that now when I'm at work on dial-up, I'll be too impatient to bother surfing at all . So I might actually have to get on with some work in the afternoons....

hey... at least pretend to share my joy of discovery here

Of course the great thing is, the more crap I download the better the value for money - it being a fixed monthly fee.

Hell yes.

Over here, I originally got myself a 1.5Mbits connection for about US$15 a month. But due to fierce competition taking place, my ISP upgraded all their customers to 10Mbits and for just US$10 a month.

It sounds almost too good to be true, one might even think that the speed & service is only subpar. But that's not the case at all. I've tested the speed several times over the months, & it has always given me about 1.0MBps - 1.1MBps download (8.0Mbits - 8.8Mbits).

The best thing is that there's no download or upload limit. Porn all day, everyday.

damn woodman i am jelouse.

the fastest consumer service i can get here is 512 cable modem (unless i go for the super rip off $80 a month for 512Mb bandwidth service which is 2Mbps or the even more expensive 10Mbps service)

i could get the 100Mbps service if i am in centre of the city where all national trafic is free (but considering we are an island LOL, and they give you piss all international trafic (yeah 512Mb) which most of it will be. so basicly i am damn jelous.

however 256K cable modem beats the pants off a 56K modem any day so i am happy.

Can you not get a faster modem? Or is your line just not good enough for anything above 56K? that sucks man..

I noticed I only get about 38K out of my 56K modem if I go thru the DSL splitter thingy instead of going straight into the 'phone socket... (No, I did NOT try to use the modem after connecting w/ DSL, but I got the h/w before the account was active)
