I'm just so happy, I'd thought I should share my happiness with you.

I know how sad this post is but I was the one who got left behind when all my friends got broadband and they nicknamed me dial-up boy.

I've only got .5 mbit, I can get up to 8mbit but I don't think I need to spend money on that right now.

playing games, downloading music, etc. etc.

its not really that noticeable of a diff, except when more than one comp is using the connection. [addsig]

main difference between 512k and 1mb/s will be when donwloading large files, 512k will donwload at about 60kb/s whereas 1mb/s connection will have a top download speed of around 100kb/s, makes a huge difference on a 600mb file.
