Default Monday!!!!!

It looks like monday is the day that I will move from 9600 baud dial-up to 4mbps cable with Cox communications. Look at this speed test and see for yourself how its been the past few months for me.

Your download speed : 4618 bps, or 4 kbps.
A 0.5 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed is much faster than down.. have you tweaked?
Your upload speed : 8356 bps, or 8 kbps.

Its going ot be such a relief to actually be able to surf the net again. Lets just hope the installation goes well....

I wonder how long it will be before dial-up ISPs go bankrupt. The only thing that keeps them in business are people like I was till recently and can not get cable or DSL. Also, tightwads who dont want to pay for broadband usually go dial-up. However, DSL is getting so cheap that if you have it as an option in your area, its a no-brainer to go DSL.

I sure hope this actually gets done on Monday...i have been too long without broadband!
