I don't know, I'm back with computers. I normally fix mine with a hammer. ^_^ It usually dies for about 5 days and then gets resurrected. ;)

Yay! Here I am, trying out my new cable access. I'm giving yumi2004 the honor of trying it out for me.

Whew, I think my neck is sprained from being yanked around the 'net so fast! It sure is nice going to pages with a lot of graphics -- not to get that prolonged song and dance while loading. Image

(My only problem so far is that I can't find where you tell Firefox NOT to dial in automatically. So my mFire dialer pops up occasionally. I know I could just uninstall mFire, but I'd rather get Firefox to stop trying. Anyone know the answer?) Image

Incidentally, my new email name is Image"kiwidog". Pretty nutzo, hein?

Well, I'm off to look at all those photos and fanarts in the "Entre Nous" section that I have had to skip over in the past.

ADSL is the same as DSL here. There are other types of DSL, but I don't think they're quite as prevailant as regular DSL.

Yeah, definitely NOT the same as "cable". From your description, Adsl is apparently the same thing as our DSL.... I didn't make the connection because I didn't think Adsl used phone lines. Image

Geez, Benji! You are a mind-reader (la télépathe)! I was planning to ask that, ce soir même. Image

If ya get set up for the "capped" sevice, and later decide you want the rilly, rilly fast service (pour quinze Euros par mois plus) could that necessitate buying a different modem, or will the modem you got for capped service definitely be usable for the faster stuff?

Go here speakeasy.net and test your speed!

Image Merci, Rooobs. I'll start out "capped" then and see how I like it.

We don't have DSL here, but my mom's kinda big at Verizon, so I think we have DSL at our house only.

Message par MacIntoc » 03 Mar 2006, 11:54

anyone have dial-up with an accelerator that really works fast, and without sacrificing graphics' quality?


Useless for dial-up connection. Dial-up's bandwith is always used at full capacity. Even with servers as rotted as celeonet's one :D

Come in france, you'll discover the power of ADSL 2+ connection :D

Message par kagetsu » 03 Mar 2006, 04:40

I'm in your sit now and would love to go dsl but it's still unavailable and I'm not sure if I can receive wireless dsl. Not even sure what that is.

Accecerators don't work for me. Either I don't have the right gizmo or the phone system is too antiquated. My best connection is 34 kbps though I have 56k and I'm usually down at around 31 kbps. Needless to say I don't read many online comics and video files are out of the question unless I really set aside the time for three tries.

When I sign on to yahoo where my links are, I hit stop as soon as the sign in loads to avoid the ads and news. I'm currently on Earthlink because mom was having fits about me tying up the phone. Now at least I can say "your sister called". The "sister hotline" is her vital link :roll:

You have all seen that classic t-shirt cartoon where one hungry vulture says to another, "Patience, hell! I'm gonna KILL something....", right? Well, I'm finally getting to where I don't have enough patience to put up with dial-up slowness any more. What irritates me the most is the way, while the incoming dribble of data slowly fills out a screen over a period of an interminable minute or two, the stuff on the screen that you are trying to start looking at keeps jumping around as each graphic pops up above where you are reading. The ultimate fun (NOT!) is trying to click on a moving target as a sign-in screen jumps around while its surroundings are gradually filling out. I am also tired of having to resist opening most Lyokophile drawings and photos because it would take too long.

But DSL is still unavailable in my primitive neighborhood (we're lucky just to have electricity), and cable internet doesn't make much sense if one doesn't want cable TV with it, and I don't consider the FCC complications for satellite or microwave links to be acceptable, so, as the fat lady in the elevator said, "Where to turn now?"
-
So, tell me already.... How are my fellow yumi-ricains hooked up to the internet, and how satisfactory are your connections? And, the main question, does anyone have dial-up with an accelerator that really works fast, and without sacrificing graphics' quality? Like, clue me in....please! Image
