Just wondering what how everyone accesses the net anymore. Up until about 2 months ago, we lived in an apartment that included roadrunner cable access in every townhouse. So when we moved into our own Condo we have to pay for it now _ (More $$ than I thought) anywho.... just wondering.
I use wireless roadrunner- gives us the freedom to have all 3 computers online at once, and we can go anywhere we want without those damn wires running everywhere.
I got Cable aol but hate that too

Is it pretty fast though?
not fast enough
If I am to believe my ISP. Cable is supposed to be approx. 3 1/2 times faster than DSL.
For instance I can load this page in 0.09 seconds. ;D
mine can dp .08
Digital Subscriber Line. :P
And... never mind john beat me to it... :P
lmao

A little slow on the draw there fatkid. In the old west they'd be measuring you up for a pine box. j/k :P
And I'm on a 100mb connection too... I guess I just didn't refresh the page fast enough... blast... :-X
lol
You got quite the connection there John. Between .009 and my .1
I dont see much of a difference, and since my dad works for Bresnan Communications... our internet is $5 a month so I really dont mind .1 lol.
It's not that big a deal. Big improvement over dial up though. :)
yep... thats for sure... Once ya go cable... Never again will you go back to dialup...
I will just not use the internet before I use dialup... well, ok... maybe not but dialup would have to be my ONLY option.

your slow John 0.08 here ;D
My cable is pretty reliable. I rarely have outages. Maybe once every 3 mos it goes down for a few hours and when I call them they indicate they are working on lines in my area most times.
That sucks dude. :-\

well i do, maybe my cable sucked but my pages don't seem to load too much slower only thing that is is when i download things so i just download them over night.
Opera is cool... Try Mozilla v1.7 beta... Sapposed to load pages an icredible time faster... Now when you are hitting .07 though, it might not be much faster, if any at all... But for page load times the 1.7 beta is sapposed to be king... We have comcast cable in my apartment... I had it in Nashville too before I came out to school... I love it... I enjoy DirectTV satellite a lot more than cable TV but for our internet I've never had problems with comcast; they even just doubled our download speed for free :)
I have DSL it's pretty fast 2 me and dail up is slow as hell
when we first got online it was dail-up. I can't imagine anyone in thier right mind chosing dail-up today.... that's like chosing between a 13" B/W TV over a 27" or larger Color. I relize some people are on a budget but I'd be willing to give up eating out a few times a month to get Cable :D
when i first got online i was using dail up 2 but we really couldnt afford a better connection intil after my mom got another job.
and i think dail up is for people who cant really afford DSL or CABLE
i hate dial up. i have it on my computer. Makes me so mad sitting and waiting for pages to load. and getting booted of the internet too. >:(
Aol sux >:(

Does your mom work two jobs so u can have cable connection?....Maybe you could get a job and help. If you r old enough for a forum!
no my mom works 2 job's cuz she wants 2 not b/c of that
I work 2 jobs because my pimp don't patrol the streets anymore and stick up for his hoes and my baby's daddy don't wanna pay no child support... Errr... What am I talking about... This is what happens when you start drinking before 11a.m.... :-\
lmao theres gotta be somthing wrong with the counter cause i just reloaded the page 10 times and 6 of them were .09 and 4 were .1...and im on dial-up rite now ::) i dont think dial-up is that bad on websites but when it comes to downloading thats when it SUCKS
Maybe it's the server that takes longer... I'm on a 100mb connection and I clock in at .145 seconds... Who knows... -- The Shadow knows...
