Back in the speedlane

17 August 2006, 10:34

Once again I'm surfing at 9mbps

Got a call from a service tech today, told me that my ADSL had been hocked up to a bunber in a completely diffrent city block

When I got home I was online at ADSL1, a quick call to my ISP and I got it changed to ADSL2+ (yeah, their measurments had been completely out of whack )

It feels so good getting out of 5kbps dialup hell

"Only 9mbps". Hehe.

I'm running 8.5/384k right now, "it's Comcastic!"

But I'm contemplating switching to FIOS. Less money gets me 15/2.
