    Finaly Got Broadband!!!

    After an eternity on dial up.... I have finally upgraded to wireless broadband internet

    And all I have to say is "WOW... THIS IS FAST" lol. The connetion speed goes up to 768 down and 128 up...

    Downloading pics and vids are no longer a hassle thanks to this connection... I can't believe I survived so long on 56k haha.

    I hate dial up. I have DSL where I live now. I would only go with cable or DSL.

    Actually man, wireless is very nice. It is supposedly more reliable then either of the other two options as well. I could of got DSL up here with twice the speed, but we are pretty far away from the nearest "digital exchange" thingy, so it probably wouldn't have been that reliable. Cable would of been good, except that there is no cable on my road

    Oh I didn't relize you whole connection was wireless. That would be nice. You could use your computer anywhere. I just thought you had a wireless router thing. We don't have cable here ether.

    I got digital cable last fall. Once you go cable, you'll never go back!

    This one is a local company www.sjv.net

    They're only in this general area... I believe there is another company called Pioneer Wireless, but I don't really know if they are country wide, they are however a lot bigger then SJV Wireless
