We just installed cable modem. Holy cow is this sucker ever fast. I loaded Bill's roughing post in 5 seconds. Last night it took 3 minutes. Now maybe I can read the forums and still have time for shop in the evenings.

Terry,
Welcome to the 1990's!

Terry, enjoy! I'm lucky....my employer requires that I have DSL, cable modem or satellite and they pay the bill!
P.S. I've got a good idea where Roanoke is.....my wife's from Fairbury and I lived in Cornell for a couple of years.

Hey--I got DSL in '02, I think. I just can't wait until I can afford turn-of-the-millenium vehicles now....
BTW, congrats on the cable modem, Terry. You won't ever go back to dialup.

Welcome Terry.
It is like Neander and Power tools. You can get into a lot of trouble a whole lot faster

You'll love it, Terry. I got mine as soon as it was available here. Sure cuts down on "phone contention", like having call waiting disconnect you in the middle (or just before the end) of a download...
Did you buy your own modem, or get one from the cable company. I'm buying my own, as I found out that $10/mo was modem rental for a $75 device!

I bought my own. I didn't worry about call waiting I ran another line in for the computer so its just about a wash as far as cost. Anything good at the last club meeting?
