It's all fast-like with no slownessesses! I'll never be able to go back to a modem again.
That's about it. I just can't contain my joy over how freaking fast this connection is... it's like, stuff is instantaneous, almost. Reading webcomics takes no time at all when it used to take a good 3-5 minutes for the pages to load, to say nothing of topics here and at TFA... gads. I used to have to wait forever for threads with 20+ replies to load enough to read.
And the comp I'm on is far better than mine, which probably just makes things better. And it has Firefox. I haven't seen a popup once. I luuuurvvvve it.
And if your poll answer is # 5, you can [composite word including 'f*ck'] off! Har dee har.

Good for you, you seem to have the medical condition referred to as "more than happy".
Now excuse me, I must **** off, apparently.

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.
The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

Cable. Hmm. That would probably be 512kb/s methinks. What you deem as DSL, is the higher levels of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, I also think, at about 1-2 megs. Now, at T1 things start to get interesting, at the speed of 5-8 Mb/s you start to come close to absolute bliss.
Cable is far superior to 56kb/s Modem. Congratulations.
Now, at T3, wich is dreadfully common in Sweden, you reach a higher state of mind, with DC++, BitTorrent, web-comics and TransFans running at full power at the same time. T3 begins at an optical fiber running 10mb/s of data. Wich is what I have. Huuuuummm...huuummm...Ultra White...yes...light...
I also chose option 5. I have been waiting for this day since I turned 12 years old. Fancy some chocolate afterwards? I prefer mint-flavor meself.
EDIT: GOD-DAMNIT!! I chose option #6, crap. Oh, well. Hopefully there'll be other opportunitys.

I've got cable also, and I still want more. More! More!
UNLIMITED POWER!!!
Ahem.
Anyway, I still get a lot of slow down when I play at www.everyvideogame.com . Until those things function like I'm playing them on TV, my spoiled buttocks won't be truly fulfilled.
I heard that only through the Dark Side can I learn how to speed up my Internet connection AND make wicked risotto. But maybe I should just call my cable provider. Who knows.
