yeah, poor beedub gets very slow dialup. the cable co. won't run an extra 300' to his place.
and anything past 150' has such horible signal loss that boradband would be worse than dialup...
anyway, that's awsome Major and there is talk of Time Warner Cable opening up a bit more bandwith for Road Runner here too...

Yeah, I connect at 9600 bps. My download speeds are usually around 1KB/sec. :mad: I am seriously looking at satellite, however, I am only 350ft. (two poles) away from cable, so I am trying everything I can to get my cable company to extend the line an extra 300 ft. so I can get cable which is much better than satellite.

geez thats really cheap $45 Canadian ($37 US) = $49 Australian I am paying that much for my 256kbps/64kbps! Apparently Australians pay more for internet than any other country. Im not sure where I saw it but they launched broadband in Germany for $7 Australian = $6.50 Canadian ($5.30 US)
