Finally

With our move, I made the jump to cable internet (waiting for U-Verse), since I can't get a dish on the building. Internet is fast - very fast.

Almost exactly my same download speed, my upload is about 60% faster though. Comcast here too. |

Interestingly, the results I showed were NOT those of the server that Speedtest recommended. It was from Germantown, WI. |

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

I have the economy tier Comcast and it's awesome. youtube videos can be a bit scratchy in the middle of the day but other than that it's usually as fast as the normal speed I paid $15 a month more for. |

That was fun, thanks guy's. I tried this thingie last night. It went through the whole download,step by step. Then when it was done it would not stop. It went on and on over and over. I could not get it to stop. Could not make it go away. Finely, after twenty minutes I had to pull the plug on the computer. I waited till this morning to re boot. So far I think it's gone. |
