It's taken me long enough, but finally... FINALLY The Roem is on high speed internet! :bigeek: Didn't expect to get activated til Monday, but I'll take sooner than later anyday!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :laugh:

Now I may just be around more again :mwaha:

Way to go :thumb: Now you have joined the rest of us high speeders :D

It's about time :D

Welcome to the otherside - you'll never go back! :thumb:

Lucky bas- I mean, congratulations!!!!! :D

I wish I could afford it! Well, I could, if I could convince the family that we don't really need food....:lol:

Oh, how I would love to be able to have high speed! :bouncy:

Us 'country bumpkins' have to be satisfied with dial up... :p

CONGRATS TO YOU - HAVE FUN! :D

:lol: Thanks :) Well, I stuck to my guns and held off on it til it was at a price I liked... at $30/month... can't go wrong! :D

$30 a month?!!!!? Lucky bas- I mean, congratulations!!! :D

We can get it for $20/month for three months...then it's $45.99 if you have cable, over $50 if you don't. And I don't anymore. I got the Dish. And it hasn't gone out at all, even with all the snow. So the cable people are liars and money hungry!

Geeze... I pay $20 bucks a month for STINKIN' dial up! I can only connect at 26.4kbps and if I wanted high speed I would have to get it through dish and it would cost me almost $100 a month!!! No cable out here in the boonies :lol:

Lucky you Sis. lol My best friend in florida loses the signal every time they get a good rain storm. Which is quite frequent. :lol:

Roem.... good to see you join the speed addicts. ;) You'll never be able to go back now. :p:p

About damn time!!!!!! :D

Once you get high speed internet... you'll wanna take a hammer to your old dial-up modem :thumb:

Welcome to the 21st Century, my friend.

Now you just have to trade in that rotary phone, betamax machine, 8-track stereo and horse-drawn carriage! :lol:

:eek: You mean you've done all this stuff while on DIAL UP?!?!?!?!?! Holy CRAP, Roem!!!

I'm happy for ya! :clap: I'll NEEEEEEEVER go back to dial up!! :yucky:

Congratulations Roemello :thumb:
Isn't amazing how fast you can fly through the net?

Yup, you're done now! You'll never be able to go back to dial up again.

WOW KILLER NEWS

Now you'll be superman! :laugh:

Welcome to the 21st Century, Roemy!!! You'll wonder how you ever lived without it!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

I also upgraded to hi-speed access at the end of last year, and I will have to get a second job before I give it up and go back to dial up internet access again. :laugh:

Isn't it awesome?

I too pay $30/month since I signed up for the Verizon DSL deal where it's $30 a month for the first year. I sure hope it stays that way after the first year is up. :lol:

I love being able to do things that I couldn't do with dial-up which was watch Videos on the internet, download songs, listen to internet radio at 128k stream. 80sAirwaves canned their dial-up stream, so I wasn't able to listen to it anymore.

It's also a lot easier to read this board with broadband, because it would take forever for the screen to load between threads, etc.

good on you Roem :thumb: unfortunately we can't get it where I live, I guess we are too far out into the sticks :lol:

Welcome to the 21st Century, my friend.

Hey! In Salem, we're entitled to our horse-drawns... :laugh:

Thanks to all... I only had about 10 minutes to enjoy it earlier, but now I plan to get properly aquainted :D I can actually get things done and still have time for recreation on the 'net again! It's a miracle! :lol:

Welcome to the fastlane, Roem! :thumb: You're gonna love it!

Alright Roemy, congratulations!!!! :cheers:

Congrats Roem! I will be forever stuck in the dark ages with a dial up connnection! :grrr: :bs:

Congratulations Roem, you have been warned though...speed is addictive. ;)

By the title of the thread, I thought you were gonna say that you were one of those Mass. Polar Bears that jump in lakes in the middle of winter. Brrrrrrrrrrr.....

Now you know how easy it is to hang around here for a while!!!:bouncy:

$30 a month?!!!!? Lucky bas- I mean, congratulations!!! :D

Val, give comcast a call. I had it for 6 months for, I think $26. Then before that expired, I called them back and got another 3 months. Maybe you can even talk them into 12months? I eat on my tips from work or else i could not afford cable internet. :lol:

* forgot to add..congrats Roem! ;)

Congrats Roem :clap: There's no retreat now :D

I pay 65 $ each month for my 1024/128 connection. Rather expensive I guess, but I couldn't do without it :thumb:
