Broadband

It’s in and it’s working and it’s sooooo cool. :slight_smile: Seriously, I am just in Heaven right about now. :slight_smile:

Blueyonder, how did I live without thee?

It’s amazing what a difference a 1MB pipe makes. :stuck_out_tongue:

Welcome to heaven ! It is great to have broadband ! Happy for ya Kit :slight_smile: ! I know what’s it like to get broadband =)

[EDIT] Were you too excited to type broadband decently ? :stuck_out_tongue: I would’ve been :stuck_out_tongue: [/EDIT]

Curses… <b>Edits subject</b>

I can’t believe how fast this thing is… See, it’s so fast it’s causing me to make typos. :sure:

This is going to make my life so much better. My social life is going to die a death of course. :slight_smile:

hmmm…to die a death?

That must be a brit thing. Because all Americans know that in order to die it has to involve a death… :wink:

Crazy brits always over explaining things…

BTW…welcome to broadband land.

haha, true true :slight_smile:

Once you go broadband there is no going back!!!

I can’t live with my broadband.

you cant live with it?
well that kinda contradicts your previous statement
im lost in confusion

You can’t live with it? I suggest relationship counselling. :slight_smile:

Has no-one ever heard of “To die a death” before? I mean it’s kind of an obvious statement, I’ll admit, but I’m sure it’s common among us ‘crazy Brits’. :stuck_out_tongue:

I meant to say without it…lol.

See, perfect example of its so fast I make typos :stuck_out_tongue:

never heard of it you crazy brit

but congrats on the broad band
haha… broadband could be a bunch of girls singing

Maybe I ought to change my avatar text to “Crazy Brit”? :stuck_out_tongue:

Weeeee! Time to download some huge files just for the sake of it! :beam:

Kit, it’s normally “to die a painful death” or “to die a slow death” as a pose to “to die a death”.

Either:
a) You misunderstood it at some stage and as a result, missed out the describing word (such as painful, slow, etc.).
OR
b) We Brits. really are wacko :).

ps. Congrats. on the broadband - I’ve had mine for about 18 months now and I love it :thumb: :).

make sure you have a firewall…

now it’s much quicker for a hacker to plant thier stuff on your hd…

::speaks from experience::

Fortunately, some/most broadband routers have firewalls built in (like mine :)) and they seem to work well and don’t cause any huge problems.

But those hackers are real losers because you gain very little from hacking random people - I mean, why don’t they hack some intelligence agency? Then again, they have to start somewhere :-\

they stuck over 10 gigs of schtuff on my hd, with my “ISP firewall” in place… You still have open ports, which can be accessed by anyone with a little instruction…

Mine should be going down tonight… upgrading to 2Mbits/sec.

:drools: for 2mbit connection

what ?! I’m having ISDN at home, but maybe I get Cable too. It is such a nice thing to upload your hp and stuff :smiley:
It is like when I play new songs on my Mp3 player once with USB2.0 and then with Firewire !!! AHHHH :slight_smile:

i have cabel internet. i remember the first day i got it, i tried downloading something off of Kazaa, and my rate was like 120kb per second, compared to my 3kb with dialup.

btw, does anyone here have Comcast for their internet?

I have Comcast. Well they started as @home, then went to ATT Broadband, and now Comcast… :wink: Makes no real difference to me as long as the link light stays lit. Plus they have yet to change pricing.

Cheers!
