chicki2u Posted June 24, 2009 CID Share Posted June 24, 2009 :cool:Hey everyone! I am new, and I am not even sure what I am doing here?!! But if I can learn from you MASTERS OF GEEKNESS I know I will come away in a new, improved way!! So, I am excited, and now I am going to check out some of these topics and see if I can read your Greek...because I don't know squat. I can sew up a wound, and I am a veteran of Desert Storm, stateside though, but on the computer....duhhhhh. But I WANT to learn, and it looks like you guys KNOW YOUR STUFF.

coknuck Posted June 24, 2009 CID Share Posted June 24, 2009 What speed package are you paying for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicki2u Posted June 24, 2009 Author CID Share Posted June 24, 2009 I don't even know!!! I am paying $30/mo. with ATT and I am starting to feel like Schultz....I KNOW NOTHING!!!! Remember Hogan's Heroes??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted June 24, 2009 CID Share Posted June 24, 2009 I'm 60yrs old I remember it all. It say your running at 96% of your host so I would say thats pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicki2u Posted June 24, 2009 Author CID Share Posted June 24, 2009 That seems strange, because it sounded like they were saying it was a decent speed, but then I read that the average was 430, and I am getting 424??? How can that be good, or 96% when I am not even getting the average? I don't understand, how in the world do you guys get such fast speeds?? By having faster CPUs?

coknuck Posted June 24, 2009 CID Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thats your upload not your download! Thats pretty good upload for sbc. Also you are being lumped in with all the other people from sbc with faster packages than you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted June 24, 2009 CID Share Posted June 24, 2009 Ditto, and our soldiers are always welcome anytime. And believe me some of us are just players in here. I mostly help with the entertainment. About all I am really good at. And once in a while I get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
