This doesn't seem so bad, but wait there's more. My ISP is forever doing 'maintenance' which often leaves me with no internet for days. And then there's the classic 'bandwidth limit' which is a whopping 5GB per month! I'll have to buy some new hard drives so cause I'm filling them so fast... NOT! My friend was on a supposed cheaper plan with the same ISP and he had a colossal 500mb bandwidth, plus we was charged AND shaped for additional usage! I hate my ISP . . .

I pay the same ammount for a suckish 2MBPS connection when i can pay the same for a good 30MBPS connection. I AM SWITCHING TODAY! AS I AM TYPING THIS! MY old provider gets overloaded in the evening and keeps DCing me from WOW. I cant host without MEGA LAGG in Warcraft 3 TFT and now I am DONE taking their sh%t. AVOID HYPERNET AT ALL COSTS!

I just moved from Norman, Oklahoma to a small town near my parents called Warren, Arkansas; and yes, it is in the freaking sticks. The only service I could get around here was dialup, so I bought a cheap little computer since I wanted something cheap & easy for a server once I found a better internet service. I definitely wasn't going to install a dial-up modem on my gaming pc. It would be a shame! So anywho; I went from a speed of around 15mb/s with Cox Digital to 26.4kb/s to at highest 28.8kb/s. Even with a new 56k modem with upgraded bios & turned settings, 28.8k is the highest even though the number is rated for 56k. At this point, I'm considering just getting rid of everything and turning my attention to collecting stamps or something.. because I surely can't do online gaming any more.
