resopalrabotnick Posted September 30, 2005 CID Share Posted September 30, 2005 i pay for my highspeed, why should he get decenty speeds for free, 's not right. if his speeds are legit, congrats. interesting to say the least. still reporting it to the fcc though. maybe the fbi too. if he crosses a state line with that connection it's their jurisdiction.
