sinister666 Posted June 18, 2009 CID Share Posted June 18, 2009 so i finally got my dsl hooked up today. the line tech spent like 3 hours outside replacing wires. havent had a home phone turned on at this house for over 8 years. but a finally got hooked up. i was on a crappy wireless connection that was only capable of .15mbs, yes thats a point in front of the one and five. slow. so far my dsl shows at 5.16mbs, much better. so anyway, i just felt like sharing that. now i can actually enjoy the web instead of getting frustrated by my slow connection.

coknuck Posted June 18, 2009 CID Share Posted June 18, 2009 so whats the whole deal with dsl about leaving my modem on for the first ten days? im new to alot of this, still learning, does it make my connection better? more reliable or consistant? It should keep adjusting its self for a while. Usually for the better. It looks like no matter what you get its got to be better than what you had!
