**I used to be on cable, then I moved cities, and figured “Sydney - biggest city in Australia, cable will be everywhere! Woohoo!”

But I was wrong. There appears to be less saturation of cable here than anywhere else in the country. I got nothin’.

Stupid dial-up sucks, and worse, it has ridiculous download limits. **

I figured with your name, you wouldn’t have internet connectivity at all, with the war on terrror an all.

Since my building is new, we have fiber instead of copper, so we couldn’t get it. They put both copper and fiber in the basement when they constructed the building a few years ago, but never connected the copper. Anywhoo it took 2 1/2 years to get a Verizon tech to come to the building and perform 5 minutes of work, and now we have it.

Went from 24k to 1500k. Surprisingly I’m still not the Quake God I envisioned myself to be over those lowbaud years, when I kept muttering to myself, “wait till I get DSL you mofos!”

**[old guy] Well, back in my day we didn’t even have dialup! You had to contact the operator and tell her the number of the BBS system you wanted to use. **

Did you really have to contact the operator first? I had a 1200 baud modem on my Commodore 128 which I used to call the local BBSs and never had to do this? I’m not sure if you are being serious, or if that was a facetious “We had to walk 20 miles in the snow, uphill, both ways!” kinda thing.

As to the OP, I’m connected @ 48.0 right now, hot diggity.

Oh yeah, I was just being facetious there.
