Just got it hooked up tonight and man is it FAST :Bounce :D

I was sick of waiting for upwards of 5 minutes for one page of the forums to show up...now they are up in 5 seconds or less! Man, I have been waiting for cabel for years now....but I still have to put Windows2000 on my old computer and find a wireless card for it and make it work. Im on my dad's new laptop now so its even faster :p

It is nice isn't it!! I have had Road Runner for a few years now and i love it. Down loading is fast as hell for anything with it.

yeah, I remember when I used to own a 14.4 modem and thought it was sick. It was a good sound card/modem back then about 9 yrs ago. Worked great for good ol' duke nukem 3d. A mediocre 2.1 mb file of bladerunner took almost 1.5 hrs to download and then it was all small and cheap looking to the point the actors were unrecognizable if not for the voices. Not to mention the tiny little window. I still miss that thing but wonder why?
