Kagemucha is getting DSL

Yup. You just read correctly. No more disconnecting, no more slooow pings. Kage=DSL.

Now.. which plan to get?
AT&T Yahoo! Broadband

"Up to 768 Kbps". Someone want to explain what that actually means? What's the download speed?
I'm getting highspeed in 3 weeks. After 4-5 years of dialup! The world has certainly come to an end!
good job you two! Welcome to the modern world of technologyWink
Oh noez!!! *runs away scared!*

Well, the world is not going to implode guys, it will if i get a better connection too =P
Implosion indeed. Congrats to both.

Kage, 768 Kbps translates to 96 KB/s.
96 KB/s is nowhere near mine. I have at the moment 356 KB/s-ish downloading Song Packs for Stepmania.
My jaw literally dropped when I saw the bolded text. Welcome to the Internet.

It says "up to" so I guess you have to subtract some to see what you'd actually get. My home connection is great and is a little over 3.0 Mbps according to internet speedtests. I'd suggest the "Pro" or "Express" packages, although the "Basic" would at least be better than dialup. "Elite" is probably more than you need.

When I'm at college, I'm going to be the one that's the butt of slow connection jokes on IRC now. Sad

Edit: I just noticed that Kage spelled "Heaven" wrong. XD

You won't be the butt of many jokes I make.

"The world has IMPLODED, and we are all now in Heavan" - That is the worst topic title I have ever seen, and has nothing to do with anything you said. I knew it was your topic even before I saw your name.

So the hardware came today! I just came home, and I heard a small *thud* at the door. When I went to open it, there was a package at the front steps!! So I have some stuff that I have no idea what to do Toungue

My dad decided to choose the "service activation day" for May 18, this Friday (even though it said May 16 is the earliest possible time..). So I need to wait until Friday/Saturday before I can install my DSL Big Grin

I ended up getting the 1.5 Mbps speed. I tried getting the next plan up, but my parents wouldn't budge...

Can't wait to install it!

P.S. Those on IRC, this is why I was so "OMG"-ish
btw happy birthday kage Wink Wink
