What type of internet connection do you have? i have regular dsl 768k, wat about you?

**Twigz** · 08-02-2006, 04:27 PM

I wish I had that DSL 768k speed, I try to convince my mom to get it...it's always a stick end of the bargain...ah, well...I'm good with my 56k dial-up modem, been using it for 11 years...

**LiNuX** · 08-02-2006, 04:32 PM

lol wow 11 years, i used dial up 11 years ago lol, no jk, i think netscape was my first internet provider, then i got aol for like a year, then canceled, then got cable, i think it was comcast, or optimum online, dont remember fully, i wasnt into computers back then, and then went back to dial up cuz cable cost too much, then finally im using dsl after begging my parents to get it for 2 years, i finally convinced them, just beg twigz, ur mom will come around lol

**Twigz** · 08-02-2006, 04:49 PM

LOL, asking my mom to give me DSL is like asking Homer to stop eating...

**LiNuX** · 08-03-2006, 10:32 AM

LMAO, why would u use that analogy? lol, just annoy her, thats the other thing i did, i stayed up all nite playing my ps2 with the tv really loud, that would bother them, it still took 'em a couple months to come around lol

**Twigz** · 08-03-2006, 11:07 AM

It was the first thing I could think of...and I would try that...if only my PS2 WORKED! lol

**Twigz** · 08-04-2006, 02:05 PM

Good news, folks, my mom CAVED IN! LOL

, I will be getting my DSL in the next week...lying does work sometimes...

**LiNuX** · 08-04-2006, 02:25 PM

lol cool, u serious? or kidding, but if ur serious, thats good, wat r u gonna use the dsl for anway? lol wat service is it anyway? verizon? and one more thing, it'll take a lot more than a week for ur "dsl" to come, cuz ur mom will probably order it next week, it can take about a month for ur modem to come by, then u have to wait for ur activation date lol, it took me a whole 3 months for all of those to happen, cuz i remember i ordered in october and my connection worked fully in like mid december, just before christmas break lol, good luck

<-- just a heads up on what you should expect

**Twigz** · 08-04-2006, 02:52 PM

I'm as serious as a heart attack, and I mean she's ordering it next week, but whatever you say...and the service might be either Verizon or Road Runner, not sure yet.

congratulations man

i have regular dsl too, verizon. and road runner isnt verizon. i wouldnt recommend it, it is cable, it does have faster speed, but it costs a hella of a lot more, and if ur gonna be doing a lotta important things, the cheapest dsl would be and should be fine, 768k is regular dsl, if u download big files or upload and need to do them in a short amount of time, then road runner would be for u, otherwise get verizon, i think its cheapest with 17 bucks a month
