I told myself i wouldnt post this but i am anyway

after a long 4 year wait, i have finally moved into a house with cable and today was a prime day in history for me.

Cable is one of the most wonderful things iv spend money on and its purely orgasmic compared to the shackles and chains for dialup

thank you.

i miss the sound of a connecting 56k modem :(

bwwweeeebrrrrrdoooodoodledooooowaaaaaaaapshhhhhh

eds, telstra or optus?

Have you heard about the secret underground cable group society yet eds?

what happened to my reply box at the bottom of the thread?

ahh yes eds I too have had that major turning point in my life where I moved to cable... oh yeah!

wait till you have to go back to dialup at some stage though eds. Ive got bpa at my house but when at amms' we're stuck with s***ty free uni internet (30mb per month) :( Its soo painful but you really appreciate the broadband when you get home.

I went from cable back to dial-up a few months ago, was pretty painful at first because I was used to an always on connection... I really have to limit how much I connect or the local call charges go through the roof.

I have no real need for cable speed, I just really miss the always on...

Anywho congrats eds, just hope you never have to get rid of it :o)

cable am wins

I've had it 2.5 years, don't think i could go back to dial up :)

eds how many times have you changed your pants so far?

Yeah the always on this RAWKS.....Rodolphe....you could probly set it up so that it would be on all the time....what are the timeouts like?

I have had cable for so long now that going back would be a killer. :(

of course you have a need for cable speeds rodolphe, mixing it up with the o2 guys in rtcw :)

Need to get somthing cleared up, been told by several ppl that billing is the first of each month regardless of when you sign up.

So I got mine today, so Do i have a month till the bill or do I have 2 days to dl 3 gig ? and get charged for 2 days :/

2 days!@

really?

I guess i better setup a queue :P

I got no time to play games, rather play with my daughter etc :o) Anyone wanna buy a legit ver of RtCW ?? :p

I have 4 hours cut off, but only 1 phone line and I don't want to tie up the phone line all the time.

It is ok though, I am used to it. Only really use internet for email now.

Only really use internet for email now.

*plays the funeral martch while Rodolphe slowly walks out of anz*

yeah go play with ya daughter!! f*** computer games they are for people with something better to do!! ;)

currently using dial up at our place because *someone* used too much data this month. dialup shared between 3 people is HELL.

you'll get over it, it'll wear off real quick.

until you go back and use dial up - then you'll want cable bad again. going back is just ... bad.

yup, its even better with unlimted downloads = )

I am in the financial position where I could save 100 a month or instead have cable. I've been too much of a a good little saver all my life to make that compromise now. Fortunately I suck enough at games so as not to care too much about ping etc. But constant connectivity rules :(

Rodolphe how much are you selling RTCW?

I go from work with over 3.5gbit of bandwidth between 6 upstream providers to a 56k modem at home

Now that sucks..

cable rocks if u can afford i, i've had it since it come out in 2000. the prices now is bloody stupid if u ask me

eds, telstra or optus?

Looks like Telstra to me

if i was going cable it would telstra. only because of WIREPLAY (:D) and free downloads part.

but i'm not, IINET Blink 512k all the way!

PACIFIC!

IM WITH SKYHAWLK!
im getting it in friday!

you get over cable... then you just want something faster

you can talk

indeed i can
