I Miss My Cable!
Hey all,

Just checking up on ya all, this is my 1st post from my sisters place.... Darn 56k connection! Well.... seems to only wanna connect at 28.8... which sucks.... So slow!!!!!

Its taking me 2 hours just to download the 41.09 dets! Geez, it didn't even take me this long to download the ut2k3 demo on the 1st day it was released!

Oh well, just have to live with this for 6more months then i should be back onto cable.....

For now tho i have turned off images etc.... to try to speed up browsing alittle.....

JayMan

Poor Jayman. Trapped in 28.8!!

My Tel$tra cable is a problem at present though.

Seems to freeze every 15 mins or so - can't find the DNS servers. Have tried other DNS servers, but still the same prob. Only lasts for a few minutes at atime, but it's annoying!

Might surf Whirlpool and see if it's widespread or not.

Hope you can get back onto cable soon, and the new house gets built on time!

Cheers
Mick

i hate these slow connections too!
our modem made some funny things with us, because the power supply was bad and sometimes the connection broke! that sucked!

Browsing isn't too bad with the images n stuff turned off..... But turning images off don't help is ya wanna download stuff! Oh well... i think the 2 hour wait for the drivers was worth it.... Can now run morrowind @ 1600x1200x32 with 2x AF and actually get higher fps than i used to get with AF off..... I definatly recomend the 41.09 dets!
