Finally back on

My internet service connection was down this morning and now when I got back it`s finally up and running.
Kinda strange to be cut off.

Not today it wasn`t. I never had a problem in years till today so it`s not too bad and it is way cheaper than the rest.

There is wireless available for some more $, not too bad if any amount of downloading is a factor. I may consider it this winter, especially if it`s a real cold/long one.
This summer there was a special discount on the equipment and install, about $150 and the monthly sub wasn`t too bad starting at $28 to $48 or so.

I also have dial up and it can be real slow some evenings, especially right after supper.

Yeah I find the more people use it in the evenings and that slows it down. Mostly it is kids then either chatting or emailing, or school work. It slows it down even more and is harder to connect on line.. A lot of times I get a link that is so slow it takes nearly 10 mintues to get these threads to come up.

Mine is never that bad, only when I had a free Zone Alarm trial program running. When it was gone my speed came way back up.

That sucks your just out of the zone for high speed 66. How much is a usual bill for dial up per month anyways?

About 19.00 Highspeed will be up in the 30.00 range I think. The slowness some times I use up my monthly quota and get charged extra. I wish they have something come on saying that I have an hour left this month, then a person would watch how much they use.

Yeah that would be nice, sounds like for when the high speed gets there, it will be well worth it for you.
