    My bill isn't too bad...my monthly porn bill on the other hand...

    I'd like to think it's my perversion costing me with that but It's my consumerism. $30 for like a Jillion Gigs of porn is just too good of a deal. It's the "Gotta have it all mentality". Cooky.

    i have DSL and i havent had 56k since it was made available in my area back in 1late 1999, i couldnt imagine a world with 56 modems still i dont know how people survived back in those days just going through diferent pages in the same site was a hassle. I can t wait till faster modems are invented that blow DSL and Cable out of the water

    I don't get it. I have dial up. it takes about 30 seconds max to load a website. it takes about 5 minutes to download a song, and about twice as long as the length of the clip for video. I'm usually online for about 2 or more hours a day. you do the math... shit! I better go get a connection that's 178 times faster!

    Well I work from home so I can't afford to have a slow connection...when I'm sending a 200meg file or downloading a 500meg one...the longer I wait means the less time I have to work.

    Plus since I'm a PC gaming junkie a cable connection is a must...and I like downloading porn at blazing speeds! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

    you missed the point.if i'm online for 2 hours and it takes me 5 minutes per song then that's 24 songs, roughly the length of 2 standard cds. if you're downloading 240 songs, then you're probbily listening to shitty music, as there are no more then 500 good songs ever made.

    For anyone with a good internet connection, I highly recommend the EMule program - best P2P software IMHO...

    T1. I can download songs in about 10-20 seconds with a good connection. I've never had problems with it.
