Hooray, I am stepping into the time break between old, slow, and cruddy dial-up to newer, faster, much better cable Internet! I only have to wait until Wednesday, and soon, I'll be able to watch three-minute videos without waiting a half an hour!For those of you that have cable, has it ever slowed down for you? If so, by how much?

Nothing has happened to me, but if you download alot of videos really quickly, it might slow you down.

I've only had cable for a couple of days, but I haven't received any sort of slowdowns. In fact, in some cases, my cable connection is actually better than my DSL. When I watched IGN videos on my DSL, they often lagged on high-res. I have yet to experience this problem on cable.

Still, congrats, Mr.Melee!

I remember the first time I got cable internet. From comcast. We got it and then for some unknown reason we didn't have it. And then we got dial-up. Annoyed the mess out of me. I then became used to DSL at my sisters home. Soon after that, we got high-speed cable and to this day, I despise DSL and I HATE DIAL-UP (as everyone else does). No angst, just telling a little story :D

EDIT I don't despise DSL. It's better than dial-up. It has it's good points, as Chup pointed out.

Nothing to despise about DSL. It gets the job done.
Not always as fast as cable, though it can be faster than cable in certain situations/locations.

Guess what, guys? I just downloaded Internet Explorer 7! Woot! I have yet to experience the feaures of my new browser. I guess I should check the help menu to see what this baby can do, eh? I guess it's good to get IE7, as our old browser, IE6, had a lot of criticism surrounding it.

I also heard IE7 had a new zoom-in feature. Is that true? If so, how do I activate it?

I don't like IE7 for some reason.

ANNND... *drumroll*

The SSBB trailer is out in English. I don't know if that makes much of a difference, though. Just go to SSBB videos on IGN.com. It's the first one after the off-screen trailer.

All joking aside, I am still having much fun with my Wii. I just wish Smooth Moves could be released earlier then January.

Lucky, luuuucky you. I downloaded Mozilla 2.0 today. SO COOL! I love this little automated grammar check thingy!

Eclipsed Moon · « **Reply #642 on:** November 29, 2006, 02:52:06 AM »

B-but the latest version of Mozilla is 1.7.13!

After a couple of days, I am finally back online. Back to bathing in the internet I go.

Crap, I forgot to mention that I got Firefox myself the other day.

January's perfect for me... I'll get it for my birthday in February.
