the double oo might be getting Broadband soon.
« on: April 14, 2004, 07:19:33 AM »
Like in 4 weeks time (fingers Crosses)

So it looks like i will finally be able to get back-on line and frag someone. :D.

So any suggestions  on games to get for my PC?

I have been eye\'n up Battlefield Vietnam but didn\'t get it becuase i still have Dial up.

So are there any suggestion on GOOD Multiplayer games ?

Include everything (from FSP to RPG\'s )

Wow, welcome to 4 years ago.    :gman:

One thing, don\'t freaking bother with Warcraft.  I tried it again the other day.  Played (or I shoudl say tried to play) 5 or 6 games and every time it sucked.

So many dickheads on there and when you are in a good game you get freaking disconnected.

Blah...

I just cancelled my broadband.  The weather is ever changing and it will be hot soon. And i will be working and partying more.

So I will not have time for the internet much so I just cancelled it.

P.S. I though broadband was everywhere your just getting it:sconf:

Are you serious? Man there is like 6 different companys in my area offering broadband service.

You must live a really...really... small town.

You don\'t get it - there are places in actual cities where you cannot get cable / DSL.. Just because it is rampant in your area does not mean  it is everywhere. America is way behind in the broadband movement, most of the Euro countries have it, along with China / Japan - but America has not jumped on the "bandwagon" so to speak.

It\'s sad but true .

^^^Consider the resources required to wire all of China/Japan and to wire all of the US.

I\'m willing to be that the amount of BB availability in the US would overlap China/Japan a couple of times over.

A valid point, but it does not change the fact that a large amount of American\'s do not have access to a high speed internet connection.

My parent\'s can\'t get it where they are building in Tampa.  THey are hoping the power company starts selling it.  Tampa is suppose to become a test market.  Fingers crossed for them.

We are the land of the rich or some BS. Seriously the reason why the US is not wired is because most americans are idiots. They are content with their 56k modems or better yet their new 56k with the superfast download that goes 7x the speed of 56k.

Another of the many reasons why the U.S. is better than any other country in the world.

T1 just for your house?  Jesus christ that\'s overkill, but if you can afford it, more power to you.
