tbaker397 Posted August 23, 2005 CID Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hey pbone, how you doing?! Welcome to the forum! Those speeds are absolutely excellent for your rated connection. Are you a cable or DSL communications, im guessing DSL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbone Posted August 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hey, baker. Sorry it took so long to respond, I work nights and sleep days. Yeah it is cable. I actually have the 4000/128 plan but they keep boosting my speed for free because I am a good customer, or so they say. The speed is 8000/512 now and starting Sept 1st they are boosting it to 8000/768. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet you can't wait til u get more upload. If you don't mind me asking, how much do you pay monthly for it? Also, do you have a monthly cap?

Bet you can't wait til u get more upload. If you don't mind me asking, how much do you pay monthly for it? Also, do you have a monthly cap? Well, Grande offers telephone, cable tv and cable internet here in Waco and has several different bundled packages. Starting Sept 1st I will have the 8000/768 cable internet, digital cable tv with HBOs and home telephone with Caller ID, call waiting and so on. My total bill is $129US a month. I think(guessing) that the same cable internet package by itself would be $80 or so, so I am getting a pretty good deal for all 3. Also, there is no cap. Usage is unlimited. I love Grande, can you tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
