Default WooHoooo! ADSL rocks!

I have finally emerged from the ice age and now i am living in the 21st century. : No longer do i have to give the "NOT DIALUP Friendly" threads a miss.

Now i have had it for all of 15mins and i'm ready to burn some mb's.

Now appart from porn (what do ya think i've been doing for 15mins) where are some cool sites to visit?

Awesome. what speed is it ?

If ur just downloading check out limewire (p2p) http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml

Normally broadband providers give you websites you can go to which will give u free downloads (not against ur limit). Check with ur isp.

Welcome to the fast lane.

Just keep an eye on your download usage when you get caught up in the fever

I've got 512/128 ADSL. Its great for online games (read: Day of Defeat). Not that great for downloadng though. I've never been much of a downloader anyway, but my old 3700/2048 cable put this connection to shame. Too bad the cable had a 1GB per month cap... this is "Unlimited"
