Just got Sprint DSL installed. Was on dial up forever. What a difference. Cable isnt out to my house yet or I would have that. But what a difference. Cant wait to watch all the videos that dial up wouldnt allow me too.

Just wait until you have cable available at your house. It will make DSL seem like 56k.

I know. My GF had cable until she moved in with me. I miss it now. But after being on dial up here for 10+ years it is definetly awesome!!!

Once you go broadband, you get irate when you go back to dialup.

I hear you PrinzII. Thats how I felt when I would go over to my GF's house. 3.0mb cable is awesome. I had dial up at my house. Man what a difference now. She lives with me now and thinks this is slow. She doesnt understand!!!!

3.0mb.....?? Damn... the fastest I have seen here in Australia is 1500k...

as usual Australia is always behind the times...

tegboy: There are some who run 9 - 10 MB/S over here. I currently run 6 MB/S on my cable connection.

teamvegas: Did you run any of the tests on DSL Reports? I definitely recommend running the tweak test.

PrinzII-- I really don't need that fact Australia, misses out on everything good, reinforced

LOL

I am using 512kb Broadband and its ok...

I guess teh only saving grace is we get the Nissan R31, R32, R33, R34 GT-R Skylines cheap.

Plus Ford Falcons (F6 =

The Falcons are kinda cool, the Typhoon and XR-6 Turbos are a killer, turbo, FMIC, leather, body kit, 18's rims all from factory.

The Monaro, is just another car, they are everywhere. There is 4 in my street alone. My 24 year old mate has a jet black one with blood red leather, 20" Boyd Coddington rims, does look nice.

I will stick with my Integra from Summer and my Subaru WRX for daily driving

What are you running under the hood?

I'm getting around 3mbs which is still plenty fast! Good enough for EBay snipes with 2 seconds left

I use some products from Web Root. I really like them. They have this prodcut to help those who want to speed up their connections. You can try for 15 days and then buy for $19
