I'm finally about to enter the 1990's...

I'm finally upgrading my internet service to Cable internet! Decided to get the whole family the gift of Mediacom bundle cable/internet/phone service. Should be hooked up on Monday. biggthumpup.gif

Needles to say I will be watching all the internet movies that I'v been missing on dial-up. Evan and I have gotten a cheap upgraded computer together to handle the duties with a 2Gb processor with a 400Mb bus speed and a 128 meg video card. Plays movies real well on a large monitor that Spy graciously donated.

I may be a bit more movie biased on DSMC in the near future. wink.gif

Mediacom FTW IMO! Super fast connection speeds let you watch porn in a whole new light!

Just make sure to upgrade the modem they give you from Mediacom. The modem they gave me is actually the next upgrade because it's actually keeping my connection from going any faster. That and they start charging you rent after the first six months!

Could be a problem with your computer. The more programs running in the background using up your RAM the slower your internet pages will load.

I've had mine since June and it still loads about as fast as I can snap my fingers on most pages.

I was being sarcastic. you know you get used to it so you wish is was faster. not that it really get any slower. wink.gif

I am unfortunatly stuck in the past. My little poduck town doesn't offer DSL or high speed anything. One of these days they will upgrade our town, LOL!

That's kind of ironic that the two of us in the past have made web forums for the area. laugh.gif
