Glad to see all is ok again, Guppie

Guppie · 26 Jul 2003, 21:26

Yeah... I was going cold turkey over here.

I am SO used to internet-acces, is very weird if you can't be online when you want to.

heat · 26 Jul 2003, 21:27

Tell me about it - i'm used to constant access here too - only my niece has other ideas. I've had to bribe her with chocolate so i could be here now...

Guppie · 26 Jul 2003, 21:31

Nah she wont

Just in case have positioned her far far away from keyboard

Tim · 27 Jul 2003, 09:06

UPC as provider??? Then you will have huge problems....

But glad that you are back now. Myself, i have a 56k6 modem... it is working but not the best connection.

Guppie · 27 Jul 2003, 14:12

No, @home. And most days it works fine, is fast too, download speed up to 300 kbyte/sec. But there was something wrong with my modem and they replaced it, and it never came online. They weren't able to make the modem known in their system.
A 56k6: that's a dial up, very expensive, right? You have to pay by the hour

Thank god for broadband

Tim · 27 Jul 2003, 14:51

Indeed, huge phonebills, don't start about that

Where i'm staying now, have also cable... download some stuff at over 400 kb/sec. That's huge.... and great.

Chris · 27 Jul 2003, 16:34

I haven't got broadband. Got a dial up connection. 10 quid amonth gets unlimited 56k access.

If i have a really big file to download, i chuck a cable out of the bathroom window and into the window of the computershop/cyber cafe next door and plug straight into their network!!

Guppie · 27 Jul 2003, 21:37

Good downloadspeed, Tim.
And Chris: thank God for good neighbours
