LOL, got a problem Dave_O, slow internet cutting down on your whoring eh'.

Dave_O · 12-16-2008, 02:14 PM

It's not just a slow internet... Part of the problem is the computer... My parents have so much CRAP on this damn thing, that the computer itself runs slow as all hell... And I can't seem to get them to buy a wireless router so I can use my laptop! I mean, threads with pictures, even just a few, the pics take a full minute to load, but if its the 'rando picture association thread' all of the pics don't even load!!! It is truly SAD!!!! WHen I was at school, before I could even scroll down to the bottom on my computer all the pics were loaded!!! SUCH a down grade!!!

*Camaro_Corvette* · 12-16-2008, 02:20 PM

That sucks, granted your basing it off of your schools internet which should blisteringly fast, that's still pretty slow. They are not using dial up are they. I can never make the move back to dial up. I actually gave up satellite TV for my high speed internet, it's more worth it in the long run.

Dave_O · 12-16-2008, 02:26 PM

No, its not dial-up, but its sbc, or att, or whoever owns it today's, 'highspeed' internet that is run through the phone line rather than a cable connection... so its the low end of the totum pole of the 'highspeed' internets... but like I said, one of the bigger problems is the computer, because when I plug in my laptop to it, its not AS bad, but its still pretty bad... and I know, my school is prolly on at least a T1 line, if not a faster connection...

SBC bought ATT and Bellsouth and butchered them to hell. They migrated networks to save money.

I have ATT (Bellsouth) Extreme 6.0 DSL, and last night it was pulling 384K! I'm paying for 6000K!

It was great before SBC butchered it. I may switch all my telecom to cable, but Comcast sucks the big one too.

After hurricane Wilma, we had no electricity for about 7 weeks, and it it took Comcrap, 3 MONTHS to restore service to our area.

I just did a bandwidth test - http://www.speed.fastaccess.com/, and got 5.2 Mbps or 5200K. Ripping fast! But later, may be 200k. Crap network, crap LEC...crap, crap, crappity, crap.

Welcome back Dave!

I used to be on forums for 8 months of a year with a laptop and wireless internet, then go away over the summer because of dialup at home. We now have highspeed, but not really. An upgrade is required.

*Camaro_Corvette* · 12-16-2008, 05:15 PM

TonytheTiger · 12-16-2008, 09:11 PM

you're lucky my crappy 50 kbps connection with almost filled harddrive and a out of date virus blacker makes the internet hell and pictures take at least 7 minutes to load.

That's too bad Tony. Maybe offload that hard drive to some cd's or dvd's, or even an external harddrive. Avast is a free anti-virus service you can use.

*Camaro_Corvette* · 12-17-2008, 08:51 AM
