They just left a bit ago. God it feels great to have broadband again. So much fster than the modem. I'll be a top poster soon now.LOL We got the Comcast special that is $19.99 for 6 months

Gongrats. Once you have the broadband, you'll NEVER go back by choice!! :thumbsup: Don't get too caught up in the MP3 download sites! :D

Broadband internet is a great thing.

i can't imagine not having to wait for server response

Its the way the internet was meant to be used, less waiting more surfing.

No doubt. My favorite place to use the web is at work. Nothing available to the public will even touch what we have here. Loading most web pages is almost as if it was stored in memory. :thumbsup:

I bet you have 100 Mbp/s private line to basically the backbone of the internet.....must be nice :D

I just jumped on to. For $19.99~6mo. also bought the modem and drop the $5 a month lease that they dont tell you about.
Hey MXZ900 back to work!

Yeah that fiber Optics stuff is a really amazing piece of technology. To bad they don't have it in ontario :angry: . How much does that cost you anyway?

Just did a b/w test on toast.net - 7617Kps.

Whatcha getting on yours from that site 670HO?

Having fiber should be right up there with my results. :thumbsup:

Yeah I'm leasing the modem for $ I already have to buy a router and who knows what else to run this to my other computers. Any ideas ghuys. I have two other puters to link up. Do I need more then the 10/100 cards and a 4/8 port router to connect them? I have the cable running up the driveway into the garage where my office is now till I can lay line. i have aputer in the house to link up and another puter or two out hwere for my employees.

Go from the Modem to the Router, as long as it is ethernet, and then from the router to the 10/100 cards in the computers.

I just did 2119 kb/s with my Comcast modem, I think that was at work, right wolf?

Yup, that's at work. Home is usually between 300 and 700 kps depending on how heavily we are all hitting the network, and weather conditions. Sattelite is a very picky way to go for broadband. Unfortunately, it's the only option for us rural people at current.

I pay 30 bucks a month for the fiber with 5 email accounts. Today my bandwith on that toast.net was around 5000k.

I would LOVE to be able to get fiber to the house for onl $30 per month. You are LUCKY!!!

Wow, that is a great price, I'm paying $60 monthly for cable.

Is that $60 for broadband and cable tv Steve? I'm paying $25 just for the broadband.
Caleb

$60 for broadband, or thats what my ISP was charging me before they sold it out to comcast, now who knows what I'm paying.

I'd check into the price there Steve. Or I'd switch to DSL. There isn't much of a difference with DSL.
Caleb

I upgraded from 49000 to 19200, it is a big improvement.

DSL isn't available here unless you live in-town which I don't. :hallo2:

I checked it and it was 39.99/month was what they charged me.

I just raised cane with Comcast after 4 days and noo net. Got two months free and a tech comeing out asap. Steve, call them and tell them that you want the 19.99 special people are getting for the first 6 months or you'll switch to DSL. They will wan't to please you,trust me.
