Post by: CygnusXI on December 05, 2000, 12:15:05 PM: DSL? Cable? Satalite?

I have T1 speed at work, so when I went home to my 56k I nearly puked every time.

Now I have DSL, and it rocks:)
Title: Cool!
Post by: THX on December 05, 2000, 12:16:49 PM: Broadband is only getting better. I can\'t remember the last time @home was down and wouldn\'t let me connect. The reliability is certainly top-notch (depending where you are, who\'s your provider).

I really hope dial-up dies within the next 5 years...

Post by: CygnusXI on December 07, 2000, 05:36:31 AM: My DSL costs----> $19.95 Month

My IP (Blackhole.com) cost-----> $19.95 Month, for a DSL connection.

So, about $40 a month total.

I\'m with Telstra bigpond advance.
It costs me $83 AUS a month. Thats for 4 different ips. 2 users. Me and my brother. We get 2 ips each.

Nothing like broadband. When i can get the Broadband connector for DC.. Look out world. :D

Post by: THX on December 11, 2000, 04:32:03 PM: Soul- why are you paying for more than 1 ip address? Why not get an Internet connection sharing proggie, or even just use the one that comes with Windows?

I currently have 2 PCs hooked up to @home for $40/mo. It will be 3 PCs when I bring my computer from college back home for the holidays...

Gezz, This is one OLD THREAD. I\'ll answer the question..

Simply put. I can\'t Telstra monitor the ips that go through the Modem.. If there are any ips that arn\'t my own. I lose teh account. When i was with Alpahlink (The WORST DIAL UP ISP ON THE PLANET) I had 2 coms going through it. But now i have cable net (on the WORST, TIGHTEST CABLE ISP) So in the contract, They monitor the ip going through the modem.
I can\'t get away with it. DAMMIT.

I don\'t want my com to be a server to my brothers com because there is a CAP on the modem. If we both download at the same time, We BOTH get the same download speed. But if there is Only 1 ip being used, and my com was the server. The download speed would be cut in half. So stuff that. :D

Wow Al Gore must be hard at work :laughing:

But seriously, oh yeah, broadband rules. Got my cable 2 months ago.

Costs me $0.00 because my company pays it all :D since I\'m such a big baller.
