Let me BRAG...please

Well, my ISP has finally converted all markets in East Texas. I now have a download of 5MB and an upload of 512kbps.

MAN THIS IS GREAT.

I never thought of internet speed like this in my home. I'm excited. I also got my DVR (digital video recorder) today. Now I will never miss an episode of South Park again. I already have it set to record any/all episodes. How long do you think it would take to fill up a 120GIG HD?

hot jamz! 120GB = 60-80episodes of SP, depending on recording quality & compression.

East Texas? What part? Live near Toledo Bend or Sam Rayburn? Or are you closer to Tyler (in other words, north, central, or south east Texas)?

I LOVE my cable modem. I get at least a 3 MB download speed all the time. It's awesome. Software downloads, etc....what a breeze with a fast cable modem.

Have you ever had a DSL connection, and after having a Cable modem, would you ever consider going DSL?

95% of our customers that switch from cable to DSL, usually switch back to cable in 1 to 2 days.

Cable ROCKS

Funny you should mention that. I switched from cable modem to DSL awhile back. I should have known better. DSL totally sucked compared to my cable modem. Granted, I bought the standard speed package...but even with the T1 speed package (1.54 MB), my cable modem would still eat DSL alive...lol So after 2 months of agony, I switched right back to cable.
