I have said before...TV goes before my internet connection goes.

One thing you will notice, Dennis, is that the more spoiled you get over its speed...the slower you think it is once again.

Welcome to fast forward!!!

You'll never go back and you'll always wonder why you didn't get it sooner. 8-)

Congrats and welcome to the 21st Century! :D :P

I hope you didn't make the switch thinking you would finish what you are doing online faster because the connection is so much faster. You will find yourself spending even more time online because it is such a pleasure not having to wait for everything to load!

Congratulations and have fun.

Yep... when I had dial-up I never spent hours at a time online. :lol:

Oh, and you'll notice that when your connection is very slow or goes out, you'll really take notice. I go into withdrawals when it goes out... :P

I love my cable modem ! Surfing with a crawle up made me cry when I had WindowsME. It took forever for a page to load.even with 328mbs of ram. Now I am running XP and cable modem, and everything is super fast!

My dial up was so slow I used to read a book while the pages loaded. I would never go back to dial up. Glad you were able to speed things up.
