Re: where'd ralph spencer go?

I'm back :D I lost my DSL and Earthlink was in no hurry to fix it. So, I fired them and went to cable. It's cheaper and faster than DSL was (I got DSL years before my cable Co offered Net service) I didn't do it sooner because the migration effort was high due to my eBay stuff. They made the decision easy after 3 days w/ no service and no solution in sight!

Ya it's much faster and $20 a month cheaper. I kind of wish I bit the bullet and did it sooner!

I have cable as well, I was the first in my area to get it and it was lightning fast. As more people hook up to the cable in my area I have noticed it has slowed down a bit. But not much

Yep, cable is great. Hate it when I go to work and drop down to 56k. It is amazing how much difference there is between dialup and cable.

Hey fella's, what's a guy like me to do when Cable, nor DSL is offered in my area? I pay $19.95 for my dial up service, which is nice, (the cost that is).<br /><br /> Any cheap suggestions?

Re: where'd ralph spencer go?

I agree w/ SBN. I compare the internet cable to t.v. cable just switch channels and your there. No extra phone lines needed, and with teenagers around phonelines are very important...So they say
