Sephiroth Posted April 26, 2003 well the second phoine line for my dad's computer has not worked for some time. i thought it had gotten damaged during the building of a shed. I was wrong. I go out to the box and test it and find there is no signal. My dad is gonna be pissed when he finds out he has been paying for serice he has not been getting. so i bypassed that connection so the computer outlet runs on the main line. i could go out to the main box(the one for the 4 houses around us) but i have seen those and they are a confuseing mess. So i have to call the company and tell there asses to fix it, agian 0 Share this post Link to post

Sephiroth Posted April 27, 2003 fodders said:They do DSL to trailers? trailers?? no i DONT live in one infact the closest one is about 15 miles. most people here have roadrunner and most of them have not liked it. though in many areas it is very fast. around here too many people have it, use it and abuse it. and to make it worse AOL broadband is here. AOL and roadrunner are basicly the same, same company. So i would not get it here. ALso the DSL company i have choosen is about $10 cheaper and will let me run a server, look for a zdoom server 0 Share this post Link to post

aca Posted April 27, 2003 Cable speed all depends on how many people have it in the same areaa since you all share teh same bandwidth. 0 Share this post Link to post
elbryan42 Posted April 27, 2003 plus timewaner sucks ass(same company as AOL) You mean your local cable company doesn't do high speed internet? That sucks. And if cable is set up right, it doesn't slow down. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted April 27, 2003 time waner is around here but they just jerk everyone around. I was gonna get roadrunner, but too many people here are on it. plus the price. then i thought about a satalite DSl, but it is expensive and shitty. i have thought about earthlink cable/DSl, midwesstern DSL, speakeasy DSL and a few others in my area. 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted April 27, 2003 Patchy cable connections can suck too. Especially if they are meagre 2 mbit connection shared between an entire appartment wing! 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted April 27, 2003 When I get cable, it'll be through my cable company. Since my cable company is literally right down the road (just a mile or so), I can expect some fast Internet surfing :) 0 Share this post Link to post
