well you might of noticed you have been without my shining glory lately and the reason is I finally couldn't keep the cable modem on. Just not the money for it anymore. So I had to drop the service and now I finally bit the bullet out of boredom and signed up for the dreaded dial-up service again...

someone kill me.... :(


but they told me it would cost the same thru the phone company to get DSL as it does dialup. Strange to me but whatever. The reason I didn't get the DSL was because they wanted a $100 deposit to get it running. Apparently because like several months ago my phone service was cut for approx 2 hours due to an unpaid bill(thanks wife!) it now requires I give this deposit. Maybe next month... Until then I shall suffer at the whailing evil of the modem connection noise and 56kbps of doom.
 
On the bright side, as I recall, you can mute that obnoxious modem dial-up sound somewhere in the modem properties.

But yeah, it sucks.
 
yeah well I actually kind of like the modem sounds... the whole DEEDAAADEEEDAA... reminds me of a more classic interwebs..

Hey at least its not as bad as it could be. I remember having a 14.4kbps.... course I used that primarily for BBS connections at the time... much easier...
