well, i have dial up right now.

my SBC internet went out (the modem broke... for the 5th time in 2 years... we are switching)... and we can't get Cox internet (damn Digital Millenium Copyright Act prevents Cox from providing internet to people who download stuff 'illegally') so right now we have earthlink dial up..

it's 32.1 kbps speed...

my old internet was
158 MBps....

1mbps=100kbps

so yeah....

i won't be on TNS as much.
(on top of all that did i mention i have Bronchitis and have been coughing up shit and it really sucks.)

Also the DMCA how does that just prevent cox, also how do they know your going to download illegally?
