About to pull into the fast lane...
« on: January 26, 2003, 02:17:34 PM »
... I\'m going to get Broadband installed sometime this week or maybe next week, I can\'t really afford it but the crap I\'ve gone through latley with dial up ISP\'s has made up my mind. I\'ll be going for the 512k BT ADSL at £27 a month.

If anyone has this service please give your thoughts on there speeds and average download speeds.


PS: It\'s my birthday today, anyone get me anything :D

Happy birthday mate. You will be extra happy with your new connection. Believe me, there is a small difference between modem and broadband...

For 27 pounds you would want to make sure it doesn\'t have any caps.

Cheers guys, I\'m actually at work now, so I\'m using 10mb Adsl, which rules ass.

I\'m downloading lots of things I shouldn\'t be :D screener anyone? Plus a I\'m the tech guy, so I put a CDR-W on my machine so I can copy off all the movies, which will be transfered onto VHS.

Well, it\'s all sorted now. It will be up and going next Thursday. I can\'t wait to try Counter Strike with no lag.

You\'re in for a rude awakening.

Less lag is more appropriate wording.

I hardly lag when I play on 56k, so it will feel like no lag.
