Title: Inactivity for about a week or so..
Post by: MaNdubOy on Mar 08, 2005, 08:24 PM
Hey, I'd be switching my cable to dsl and so it'll take at least one week for me to get back online.  Just letting you guys know, although I could have sent you guys PM's I just felt like posting it up. I'm not sure until when my cable will last so I'll talk to you guys when I get back.  Take Care...  :^_^:

Paying cable = $60.00 a month for comcast.

SBC DSL =$20.00 ...a month for comcast.

I don't want to pressure my parents in paying sixty bucks for internet service that has similar qualities for 20 bucks.
So yea..haha.

Actuall it is 20$ a month for the first 6 months, then it goes up to 60$ agian...I have roadrunner cable, it seems better than my friends DSL.

But that may just be a timewarner thing.

Nope, I think you got your information wrong Kirby.

Its $20 for the whole year.

Comcast Cable goes up to $60.

DSL and cable aren't that different.  I visited different forums and such and from what I've read, DSL is similar to cable.

Meh... i guess, but DSL still uses phone lines.  Cable modems use fiber optics ^^

I just got dsl all hooked up.  It seems not that bad but I heard when I get phone calls, my dsl slows down but other then that, DSL isn't that bad.

Oh thats a relief then..  How do you like cable compared to dSL?  

While I had cable, I didn't have an ethernet card on my comp, so I had to be on wireless.  I got half the speed of what the original speed was to be.  So to me, DSL is liek a speed god...

I told you, its because you have cable tv + cable (internet).  Thats why it's around $45...

DSL isn't that bad.

Not alot if you consider its in singapore dollars which is 1.5 times less

it means $60 Divides by 1 1/2 = US$30 bucks  or so.
