tagged and facebook huh....im truely sorry to hear that man...lmao....i tried tagged, didnt like it, and i will never try facebook, no offense to that site or anyone that uses it, i just have no interest....myspace does enough polluting of my brain...firefox, i love firefox, greatest thing to ever happen to the internet, except for the damn beta version i was running, kept crashing on me all the time, but oh well, still beats the hell outta IE and chrome in my opinion.

a question of which modem is better
sinister666 replied to sinister666's topic in General Discussion
well im just wondering because i got the two modems sittin here. i dont geet my dsl turned on the 18th and im just curious if anyone knows anything about either one before i hook them up. but of coarse when i get my service turned on i will test them both here to see if there is any diff. the only thing i have come across so far after doing a bit of research is alot of ppl complaining about the motorola brand gettin really hot. and after looking at it i can see why, there is no ventilation on it, the siemens brand modem has all kinds of ventilation, but im not real sure if a hot modem has any bearing on the actual performance. so i guess i just wait another day and a half and find out. and like i said, i will be on here testing the both of them when i get my service turned on so i will post what i come up with for anyone that may be interested. -
though this tweak has been known for some time, i forgot about it till recently. i did this to my pc a while back and actually noticed about a 10% increase in speed with it. nice post for those that arent aware of it.

ok ppl, ive read alot of usefull info on this site, you all seem to know alot more than i do, and thats hard for me to admit, but you all seem very informed about internet tweaking and equipment use....hopefully someone can answer this for me...i have 2 different dsl modems and am not sure what one to use or if it makes any difference at all. i have a motorola mstatea 2210-02-1022 dsl modem and a siemens speedstream 4100 dsl modem. is there any difference in performance from one to the other? does it make any diff at all as to what one i use? i consider myself to be pretty well self educated at the art of fixing computer problems and general hardware issues but this is something i am not well educated on, thats why i am now a member of this wonderful forum, i have learned alot in my short time here and hope to learn more. so, can anyone out there help me to answer this question? motorola or siemens speedstream? they both came from at&t and i didnt pay for either of them. any input is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

well, hey everyone, just wanna say that this is a pretty cool site, lots of good info here, i just signed up today after being a guest for some time. and while im here id like to complain about my internet provider wich i will be leaving on thursday hopefully...im currently using centennial wireless so called high speed 3g internet..what a joke! when i test my speeds im lucky to get .15mbs download and the same for upload....its horrible! so in a few days att is gonna come out and hook me up with direct dsl, a 6mbs connection, hopefully its alot better than what im on now, its the fastest they offer in my area. but to anyone that may ever consider centennial or sprint, they are the same service in my area for wireless internet, DONT DO IT!! its a waste of time and money! and the worst part, they told me when i signed up for it that it was super fast, and i got stuck with a 2 year contract on it...so im stuck paying for something that i will no longer be using within the next few days, but oh well...so yeah, they call this high speed that im on and the connection speed is only 237kbs...its terrible...luckily its only 30 bucks a month so its not that bad paying for it even thogh im not gonna keep using it, att is offering me a 6mbs connection for 45 bucks a month and after some dickering with them i got them to give me a 100 dollar credit on my first bill, they were supposed to be out to activate my service last week and never showed so i called and raised hell and now i get the equipment and my first month free...so we will see how much better they are. ill post back when i get it turned on on the 18th and let you all know if im satisfied with it. thanks for this great forum and happy surfing to all. peace!
