Merry Christmas!

You're damn right I mean. I'm the only person in all of montgomery county with a frickin' cable modem, so I intend to live off the fat of the land and enjoy my 3mbps downloads until the rest of the joe punchclock 56k idiots decide to upgrade, at which point T3s will probably be less expensive.

Oh, btw, I had 11 seconds in which there were no new messages on this forum

Let's compare, shall we?

[Darth Viscera]

reason being, I was searching for a test at cnet.com to see how fast my connection is according to yours. Also, I was composing my thoughts. I never claimed that my brain was as fast as a cable line.

btw:
download.cnet.com/downloa...-1.1478508

click the 'clock your download' thing at the bottom, see what speed you're at. I'm fluctuating from 350-750kbps at that link.

[Nupraptor]

: Great minds, eh? Going to do yours now.

BTW: I got 654kpbs at the link I provided.

[Darth Viscera]

eh? going to do my what? test your bandwidth?

[Nupraptor]

at your link, yeah. I can't seem to find the "Clock your download" thing, though.

Edit~ Found it. 554kpbs

[Darth Viscera]

HA!!!!!!!!

Your line speed:

663.4 Kbps


81.3 K bytes/sec

[Nupraptor]

663 over 654? HUGE differance, I see. :

[Darth Viscera]

I pay 44.95/month for mine. Yours?

[Nupraptor]

even $40

[Darth Viscera]

dammit!!!!

*shakes his fist at nuppy*

You've won this round, nuppy, but we'll meet again! And when we do, you won't be so lucky!!

$5 cheaper, too. Well, I live next to D.C. Things are more spensive here. How much did you pay for install? I paid about $60.

[Nupraptor]

I live in Florida, and I have Mindspring ADSL. I got a free install by saying I heardd of 'em on the radio (which was a lie).

[Darth Viscera]

damn you! So you don't have to pay for a DSL modem?

[Nupraptor]

Nope *pats his external DSL router*

[Darth Viscera]

dammit, I had to settle for a $30 mini-hub that doesn't work, and another computer in the same house on a different subnet. As a result, the damn network doesn't work, and the only thing that's shared is the cable modem. No printer/file/multiplayer game sharing at all. What a damn jip.

[Nupraptor]

I think your box is slightly faster than mine. But in any benchmark, I can stomp it.

[Darth Viscera]

ah. I'm now talking incoherently. $30 for the mini-hub. The other computer (2 Win98 pcs) is on a different subnet for @Home, and as a result, we can't network them

[Darth Viscera]

oh really?
