OMG what have I done?

Just heard a news piece on NPR talking today about how lousy US internet connections are in comparison to places like China, S. Korea and the Scandinavian countries. Fiber optic lines seem to be the key to the fastest speeds. I will post desktop speed shortly.

You silly roundeyes, you so sloooow... take longer than make egg role, download p0rn!!!

What is missing from these posts is what the cost is to get that speed. Some people are certainly getting high speeds.

I pay $39.99 per month for my service.

I am grandfathered in at my rate. When I got it 10 years ago they guaranteed the rate as long as I kept the service. Comcast keep pressuring me to switch to comcast so they can charge me another $20 a month for the same service.

Got the biz class. No caps - doubt I ever need to worry, but just in case I start looking at Linux distros again.

Added plus.. if I ever need to call support, it doesn't go along these lines here...

ain't that the truth. :rabbit:
 
I'm still trying to get one computer on Win 7 and I'm going to get eaten eventually, not talking about malware. Costs $120 and I don't even get a CD AFAIK.
 
How did you embed me John....

Click on IMAGE and then COPY and use the IMG tag button in the composing window here (the TREE icon) and the URL tab then paste the address in to put the image up. You don't need to embed it.

Should be able to buy the DVD online for $90 or less. I think Ms is going to have a special deal in a few months on win 7 and win 8 when xp support runs out.
 
Lee the insert image icon will ask you if you want to upload the image from your comptuer or link to a url, choose the url option ans paste the url in the box and save. There are options to save a copy of the image on the forum and display as a thumnail or you can just use the link and display the image you linked to.
 
I also just turned html on here, so should be able to use the link copied from the speedtest site now..


Lee what that means is you can just paste your html link i nthe body of your reply and it will show up in your post.
