My connection is all over the place lately, I might redo it when it gets more stable.

I'll try this some other time. Virgin imposes speed restrictions from around 4pm to midnight. This never bothers me though.

How much does everybody pay for their service too? I'm on DSL, and I think the max is about 50 MBps when I signed up, hence the 5000 kpbs speed. I'm paying about 7000 yen for my service every month too ($62 or so), but that includes wifi. My neighbor steals it and pays me 2000 yen a month.

its bundled with phone and cable.
$100 for all three
i think the break down on the receipt was $33

but as far as im aware you have to have the other two services to get it at the price.

its kind of a con.
but its still cheaper than when they were all separate bills.

No they don't. You just have a really shabby connection.

Hehehe. *pats Lesley* And I think you meant 256MB not 256k, unless you're surfing on an Amiga 1000... which isn't totally impossible.

Toshi was finally driven mad by the fan sounds my computer was making and fixed it. It's wierd...it's so quiet now.

He's slowly upgrading the bits of the computer that are driving him nuts.

Damn.... my computer does suck.
