Finally!!!
We're finally back on broadband connection!! wooHOOOOOO!!!
The men came this morning to install the wireless, and now after practically one month of nothing but offline and.....*shudders*....AOL dial up!! ARRGH! According to the service we got a 384k upload and 3000k download speed (the maximum amount, so even if it doesn't reach that it's still quite fast). Which means I can now play online games, stream lots of shit, Anyways......yay.

Does this mean you'll be on the forums more? Oh damn.
Just kidding. Glad that you're back on broadband! I don't know how you survived one month of dial-up. Seriously, you've earned my respect. |

I did a zen job of it, shrugged, and simply said, "Heh, f#&k it, I'm this way until then."
It's startling how dependent you can get on technology. The way my life is these days, I practically live most of it online, whether doing research, writing, gaming, or doing mod work and socializing on the forums. Now I can't imagine going back to dialup, except as a last resort and only then temporarily. I was nervous about this T6 wireless service, but the speed is incredible, faster than standard DSL or cable. My final advice to anyone: never, ever get satellite internet service. It's far less reliable than dialup and far more expensive.
