/me hands everyone some candy as the walk in.

Friend: I just got a new PC! (Sends the stats)

Me: Now that you have a good PC, you need GOOD internet.

Friend: I have good internet

Friend: AOL 9.0

How is AOL 9.0 good?! As AOL "upgrades" they do 2 things...

1.) Add more smiley faces.
2.) Suck more.

Topic: What do you use?

Cox cable modem...Used to have Juno 56k, but that was about 4 or 5 years ago.

AOL 9.0 isn't nearly as bad as past versions. I know because I've used AOL from time to time since 3.0. I actually prefer 9.0 over AIM when it comes to messaging/e-mail.

However, my current ISP is Comcast. Yay for cable.

Yeah, but what does "uncapped" really translate to? :P

Dammit, we should have stuck with Bigpond, but we bailed 'cos they kept introducing more and more restrictions (it was 10GB/month, 40kb/sec download when we jumped). Looks like they're finally starting to shape up.

(even though the upload speed seems to be much faster... :confused [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

And this thread also somehow reminds me of finnish computer noobs, who think that JUST putting the install CD of the internet connection makes them able to get on the net... or when the salesman says that with this comp you can get to the net, the stupid guy thinks that that's it, you can go to the net without doing anything. Without installing Windows/Linux/etc.

BTW, is there a web browser for DOS? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/rolleyes.gif]

Well recently I've been getting 500-700KB/s downloads from BigPond servers. Nothing wrong with that [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

The unlimited plan they introduced this month seemingly kicks *** . My connection is exactly the same quality as it was on the 3 gig plan, and all for $10 less a month.
