Anathema Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 How many of you peeps have cable? I reguraly read people saying: "damn 56k idiots- get cable". Well there are also people who can't get cable like me >:(. I actually remember Ken saying something like: "OMG, you use dial up". Well for me there is no alternative. The other day I play a game of TMP with some cable asshole and he says: "this game is to laggy. Get cable you moron!". Do you think I like laggy games >:(?

IxianMace Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Yes, I can understand how you're feeling. I don't like 56k any more than you do, and I want to get cable but don't have a job yet (therefore income is inadequate to support fees etc). Might be some time before I can get it.

AWACS Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Yeah I get that, I got it from ken the same as u said EN and it was about calling you EN actually, But my 56k is annoying cuts every 30 min. also cable will probably never come here on a hill in the middle of england, the countryside, even thought some don't get it 1 mile from city center of birmingam (city not that big) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 why not get broadband its cheaper than cable and still quite fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerf Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 yeah, but boradband isnt avaible everywhere aswell. It would be nice, though, but like Drop_Zone, I cant get it at home. The main reason is that it will cost BT alot of cash to upgrade the telephone exchange to support digital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethan Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 well, i live in the country, so i am screwed. but i think DishNetwork is going to start providing satellite cable for no extra equipment except for a modem. if they ever do that, i will personally buy a router for myself and hook broadband to my moms computer (the good one) and my computer (the ok one without net).

GhostHunter Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 No they are not Ethan, they HAD a satilite connection with such bad sucess they stopped it and have no plans for a new sat connection in the future, but in the USA DirectTV has a fast con that is avilable everywhere in the USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 My parents won't get cable or broadband even if I pay the difference. Its one of those things where they said no and I tried to compromise so I can't get it until I live on my own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted October 19, 2002 Author Share Posted October 19, 2002 Next year I'm moving out of my parents place anyway, and the rest of my family doesn't use internet as frequently as I do so there so no broadband for me :(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 I have 56k and cable internet is mostly important for FPS games... and since i don't play FPS games online besides AVP/AVP2 i don't have much trouble with that. Actually in all my gaming career i've hardly heard anyone complain about my connectino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
