tommie gorman Posted December 1, 2006 CID Share Posted December 1, 2006 I heard PAM, but that sounds better. Yeah, the wife was out of PAM. And I forgot after that.

tommie gorman Posted December 1, 2006 CID Share Posted December 1, 2006 Actually the PAM wears off fairly quickly. On a mild winter I need to coat it about 3 times. So probably more this winter. Maybe I will try some of this H.D. wax I have in the garage if the weather lightens up again. But no build up.

tommie gorman Posted December 1, 2006 CID Share Posted December 1, 2006 That is actually better ghostmaster. You were only pulling 1625 on the 12 meg test last night. You are very lucky. Mine did that about a year ago, but it does not do it anymore. I miss those super speeds. I wonder if you will eventually be able to beat my 5Mspeed test score record. Best wishes.

ghostmaster Posted December 1, 2006 CID Share Posted December 1, 2006 Dang 5? 5 WOW! Why don't they just keep it that way? Because they only have limited amounts of bandwidth. They are holding our for the new platform (spaceway 3) next year. Then things should improve.....maybe.....

Cable ISP's sure don't give a crap. Actually DSL is on it way. slowly. Definately not fast enough though. Will it cost more than you are paying now? They like charging for the equipment and getting another 15 month contract. Usually the same monthly. Or outright $400 for the last upgrade.

tommie gorman Posted December 1, 2006 CID Share Posted December 1, 2006 Only if they had their way. It is really a monopoly till someone else gets out here. And the states are giving them a fit on some of the rules. I guess I could always go T-1 (right again, just for surfing. $400 a month) I would love the $24.95 6.0 DSL. No, I have the $59.95 for 500/50. But like I said, all in its time.
