What kind of internet hookup do you guys have? I have Comcast cable internet. Fast, but not exactly dependable. We push a button to turn it on and the "internet" light goes on, and sometimes it blinks on and off over and over and we have to wait about one to three hours for the internet to be usable again.

I have DSL, which I really like. I used to have 28k for about two years, which was so slow and irritating. It would take four-five hours, maybe even longer than that to download mp3s at times. Thank God I don't have it anymore; I would NEVER have been able to download .avi videos with it.

No, DSL and Cable are two different things. For one, Cable is a little faster than DSL, although DSL's still pretty fast.

I have Verizon DSL which is usually pretty fast, but lately it's getting slower :[ but it's not as slow as when I had AOL dial-up.That was a nightmare ;_;l

Right now I'm using regular Earthlink dial-up, but I'm switching to Earthlink Highspeed soon. I've used it before and it seemed to work ok. It won't help download faster (so I'll still have to wait to see PGSM

) but at least pages load faster, and it kills pop-ups.

I used AOL a looong time ago, but that's a memory I don't wish to relive.

I haven't had AOL Dial-up since '99. I love my Roadrunner Broadband.

I have Road Runner cable (that's probably not the full name). They have this black box that hooks up to the hard drive. And when you turn the computer on, the lights on the black box lights up.

I sometimes have the same problem: the "Cable" light keeps on flashing and I can't go on the internet until several hours later. The 24/7 helper guy online said it might be because we have 2 computers using one black box and 1 IP address.

Yeah, every person with cable has a little box =D

Having an IP address split to 2 different computers shouldn't make the internet not work. It could be a problem with the cord, or it could be a problem with the cable company themselves. I've never heard of a split IP causing the cable part of the modem not to work

Verizon DSL. I had the Comcast cable setup for a while, but their stupid install CD never worked on my computer, and they never came around to replace it. I switched off to the cheaper DSL as soon as it was offered.

Internet America Dialup. And I dno't even have my own account. I"m sharing with my friend's family -_-;;
We were supposed to have cable by now, but our dumbass cable company screwed up.
I miss my DSL. Our new apartments are RIGHT past the border for DSL.
