Broadband

[Kitiara]

It's in and it's working and it's sooooo cool. :) Seriously, I am just in Heaven right about now. :)

Blueyonder, how did I live without thee?

It's amazing what a difference a 1MB pipe makes. :P

Welcome to heaven ! It is great to have broadband ! Happy for ya Kit :) ! I know what's it like to get broadband =)

Were you too excited to type broadband decently ? :P I would've been :P

[Kitiara]

Curses... <b>*Edits subject*</b>

I can't believe how fast this thing is... See, it's so fast it's causing me to make typos. :sure:

This is going to make my life so much better. My social life is going to die a death of course. :)

hmmm....to die a death?

That must be a brit thing. Because all Americans know that in order to die it has to involve a death... ;)

Crazy brits always over explaining things....

BTW....welcome to broadband land.

[c!rYx]

haha, true true :)

[lostinbeta]

Once you go broadband there is no going back!!!!

I can't live with my broadband.

[nobody]

you cant live with it?
well that kinda contradicts your previous statement
im lost in confusion

[Kitiara]

You can't live with it? I suggest relationship counselling. :)

Has no-one ever heard of "To die a death" before? I mean it's kind of an obvious statement, I'll admit, but I'm sure it's common among us 'crazy Brits'. :P

[lostinbeta]

I meant to say without it...lol.

See, perfect example of its so fast I make typos :P

[nobody]

never heard of it you crazy brit

but congrats on the broad band
haha.. broadband could be a bunch of girls singing

[Kitiara]

Maybe I ought to change my avatar text to "Crazy Brit"? :P

Weeeee! Time to download some huge files just for the sake of it! :beam:

[JK87]

Kit, it's normally "to die a painful death" or "to die a slow death" as a pose to "to die a death".

Either:
a) You misunderstood it at some stage and as a result, missed out the describing word (such as painful, slow, etc.).
OR
b) We Brits. really are wacko :).

ps. Congrats. on the broadband - I've had mine for about 18 months now and I love it :thumb: :).

make sure you have a firewall...

now it's much quicker for a hacker to plant thier stuff on your hd...

[JK87]

Fortunately, some/most broadband routers have firewalls built in (like mine :)) and they seem to work well and don't cause any huge problems.

But those hackers are real losers because you gain very little from hacking random people - I mean, why don't they hack some intelligence agency? Then again, they have to start somewhere :-\

[reverendflash]

they stuck over 10 gigs of schtuff on my hd, with my "ISP firewall" in place... You still have open ports, which can be accessed by anyone with a little instruction...

Mine should be going down tonight... upgrading to 2Mbits/sec.

:drools: for 2mbit connection

[c!rYx]

what ?! I'm having ISDN at home, but maybe I get Cable too. It is such a nice thing to upload your hp and stuff :D
It is like when I play new songs on my Mp3 player once with USB2.0 and then with Firewire !!!!! AHHHH :)

[replode]

i have cabel internet. i remember the first day i got it, i tried downloading something off of Kazaa, and my rate was like 120kb per second, compared to my 3kb with dialup.

btw, does anyone here have Comcast for their internet?

[Niann]

I have Comcast. Well they started as @home, then went to ATT Broadband, and now Comcast... ;) Makes no real difference to me as long as the link light stays lit. Plus they have yet to change pricing.

Cheers!

i feel ya bro i was there a month ago now i got cable and i dont want anything to do with 56k, isdn or dsl

[Kitiara]

It makes such a difference. :)

And I'm positive the phrase "died a death" is commonplace. At least it is round here. Or maybe it's just something I've picked up from my mother. I dunno. But I know what I mean... :)

[asphaltcowboy]

dont panic, it's commonplace enough ;)

[Soul]

Welcome to our world :beam:

[asphaltcowboy]

you mean Britain? ;)

[Soul]

Naughty school girls

[asphaltcowboy]

[Kitiara]

That's a little Benny Hill, isn't it?

[asphaltcowboy]

where?! :P

[Kitiara]

No, the schoolgirls thing... God, what was a watching the other day that had a Benny Hill thing in it? Could have been The Simpsons.

[asphaltcowboy]

oh. I thought you were talking about a diddy Benny Hill :)

[Kitiara]

"I shall call him, Mini-Benny."

Nope, just put in mind of Benny Hill-esque humour...
