1 edit | Turned off my DSL today. Waiting for Covad/EL to
Welcome to the Machine. LOL | | 
Bellsouth's Slow BBG, Good Riddance! | 
Dead PPP / Waiting to go live again. | 
Current Latency. LOL |
 Killing three (or more) birds with one stone. 
1] New 3.0/384 account
2] No more BBG/L2TP crap. Good Bye Bellsouth's BS
3] Yes, new contract (no problem with me since I'm not moving anytime soon)
4] Saving Money with $29.95 for 6 Months and then $49.95 for 6 months. (Saving Benjamins is always good)
5] Another backup/test modem.  ($19.95 shipping) Again, no problem.
I'll be on dial-up for 5 to 7 more days and then update this thread with new images.
Regards,
Doctor Olds |

How often do you see me asking for help?

1 edit | Re: Turned off my DSL today. Waiting for Covad/EL I'm not on a RT so I am able to get Covad since it is available in my CO. I'm roughly 4,000 to 6,000 feet from my CO.
I don't believe that Covad provisions on RTs?

it allows you to browse the internet the internet a bit faster ... it caches the sites that you have visited.... it compress the images from sites... but it wont increase your dowload speed...  |

kudos:1 | Re: Turned off my DSL today. Waiting for Covad/EL They showed it on The Screensavers one time... One big boost is how is *really* compresses images. You can set it so that they're literally grayscale and still very fuzzy. But, pages load really fast that way ! |

Duluth, GA | That "Accelerator" is BS. They shouldn't be able to call it that. And the software and concept was out back in 1999/2000 and they claim it as something new... bleh

kudos:1 | Yeah, ISPs have been doing similar things for years with "caches" and "proxies". This is nothing new...
Jazzman: If you're serious, take a look here: »www.techtv.com/screensavers/prod···,00.html. They weren't impressed... Check the links for "EarthLink Accelerator on Maximum" and so on. |
