VermontHunter Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Re: SUPER BIGTIME NEWS LOL..scarey uh ??... I have dish network and Im not giving that up for cable TV...NOPE NO WAY.... So this cable will be for my computer and of course with a wirless router (Netgear G,,,WGR614NA..with the matching wireless card) so the wife can use her computer as well.... So in plain terms this cable is for internet purposes only..... Mr. SPEED DEMON.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeStandBowHunter Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Re: SUPER BIGTIME NEWS You know, you'll love it because I don't think anything is faster than modem. I had Roadrunner while in NC. But when I came up here to Mass, I went to AOL dial-up. I am telling you, there is not that much difference. At least on mine it isin't really that much slower. Now of course downloading things and sending pics takes all night but just surfing the web, I can hardly tell the difference in the two. I think I will keep my 17.95 a month dial-up. But thats alright VH, you will just be that much faster to tell Muff to send our hats to us when his Sens lose to the Bruins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Re: SUPER BIGTIME NEWS You'll love it! I had dial-up for the longest time in college, then I got high-speed. When I moved back home, dad had just got high-speed here through work for free with a router... so I got a wireless modem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Re: SUPER BIGTIME NEWS Dial-up definately served it's purpose here in this town for years since cable or DSL wasn't available,,,,but man it's about time this town joins this century with the rest of ya.... I can't wait for Sat. afternoon,,,,hopefully the router and wireless card don't give me any trouble on the install,,,,this procedure I have to install myself the cable company doesn't do that end of it, and networking isn't one of my forte's.... ,,but I will give it a whirl anyhow....can't have the wife around with no internet access..... And Russell if you thik DSL is faster, just imagine it being 25% faster,,,,that's what cable is capable of...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted September 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Re: SUPER BIGTIME NEWS WOW and a BIGGER WOW !!!

And the wife's computer is even all networked in,,,,piece of cake,,,,,now she really owes me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
