Read it, I hope it is useful in some way. BTW my dad says I can get a Virgin Mobile phone, if I pay for it myself. If you get one too, we could txt message for 10 cents a message, or talk for 25 cents a minute (until 10 minutes when its only 10 cents a minute).

that works, but if i can land a job i'm getting a real cell for day time, but i might need a prepaid for my night time adventures. The prepaid would not be regestered in my name. thtas why

[Y0ungBra1n]

Actually, right now, I think that the rates are bad for Mobile cell fones. 25 cents a minute is not cheap! But, a good thing about those is that TXT messaging is only 10 cents. Right now, you might as well have a prepaid calling card or Set of red box tones if those still work in your area (they do in mine) for your best bet. That's probably all for today, I'll try to get on lata!

well when my computer does'nt have it problems i'm on dsl...

[phreakblaze]

cable is still better

[StankDawg]

cable is still better

cable is shared, DSL isn't. If executed properly, DSL is better.

[phreakblaze]

In my area, i've tried both, cable is better for me.

I agree with stank. One of the major disadvantages of cable is that it is shared. which is a big problem if you live in a neighborhood with a bunch of kids sharing their whole hd on kazza. so thne your speed could drop to like 40 kb/s

im lucky then most the kids on my block are really youn or around 13 or so... doesnt slow my cable at all (i dont have it wireless and its on my playstation at the mement )

[hacnslash]

i live in a neighborhood where not a lot of people have net access period.....it rocks, cuz my cable is always pretty fast....

[Spaz101]

lucky you heh, well the thing is i dont know anyone on my block and i lived here for 13 years (theyy all move)

[Y0ungBra1n]

I don't think anyone else has Adelphia Powerlink on my block, but ill ask around to see about how fast my connection will be.

[1337]

I got Adelphia Powerlink and it is TEH AWESOME. I've gotten speeds of up to 5 Mbs wiz it.

[Y0ungBra1n]

Yeah, it is better than dial up, with my mom offline upstairs I can get downloads of up to 31kps!! Which is ten times better than what I have been getting!!!

[Dox]

im on dsl, and it's nothing too fancy, 100+ is usually a good day for downloads. p2p is just awful, i think im a bit too far away from the switch, as i've never gotten anything over 180. and a few friends of mine are getting a meg+ on cable.

[phreakblaze]

From what i can tell, it depends on your area, distance from switch, provider, and the quality or age of their systems.

[Y0ungBra1n]

That true, Dox must be close, while mine is like 30 miles south of here...

[phreakblaze]

I think my co, where verizon distibutes its dsl (only dsl in my town), is useing relly old parts, n crap. thats why its not good

[Y0ungBra1n]

That makes more sense than any other explanation.
