Bad Connection Woes
« on: August 31, 2007, 11:32:55 PM »
I wanted to thank the Bish that flew with me in LW Orange tonight for your patience. My antiquated 14th century, paper cup and string, piece of #$%, soda straw dial-up kept having to redial in the middle of missions. Very frustrating to say the least.

My phone company SAYS they will have DSL out here in a few months.
(Grunt, snicker...) yeah, right.:rolleyes:

Anyway, thanks for putting up with my troubles.

So what you're saying is that you'll have DSL in two weeks?:p

thndregg its the exact same for me (except I don't have dial-up right now). Don't worry, they're never giving you DSL just like me. Past 3 yrs now they say "O DSL is comin"

Been having the same problem the past couple days.  Maybe it's our state, or that thunderstorm rolling through the Oregon/California/Nevada area messing with the paper cup string connection.

Oh man, I remember when my cable company said they would have cable internet shortly, 2 years later we have cable! And max DL is 65 kb/s!
