<0> the phone company legally has to replace your lines if the noise is over a certain point
<1> hmm
<1> then I should call and see about that
<2> for intel anyways... if your going with an am2 rig, then it doesnt matter... but for intel, the older motherboards wont even support the next gen cpus
<3> _jarrett are you a way from the city?
<2> unless you wanted to solder onto it
<3> if you far a way then nothing can be done
<4> yea
<3> the line are bad
<3> get cable
<4> i am like 20 minutes from the actual town
<3> even DSL will give your trouble
<2> heh
<4> DSL isn't available where i live
<0> do you get continual disconnects jarret?
<2> if hes out in bfe then i doubt he can get cable or dsl
<4> and cable is like $99.00/month
<3> _jarrett nose in the line
<2> i know he cant get dsl
<5> ok
<5> sorry
<5> another retarded question
<4> lol, ok tim
<5> can anyone explain to me what CAS latency is
<0> drop your modem protocol to v.34, that will help, but give you slower speeds, but you'll stay on more consistently
<3> _jarrett live with what you got till the ISP care about your town
<3> maybe in few yrs
<6> how bout we just ask him what city and whats the closest major city
<6> 20 minutes aint ****
<1> _jarret: you could always try a satellite services, like huges.net
<1> service*
<4> yea that's like $99.00/month
<4> i don't really want to pay that..
<1> For satellite?
<3> ouch
<4> :o\
<4> yea
<2> my satellite is 70$/month
<3> that's big bucks
<1> My friend lives in the boonies, and she pays like $30 a month
<3> how much a cable cost? 10Mbit?
<3> 45$
<0> mine is $50 for 9mbit
<3> yeah cheap
<4> the only high speed service we can get is that hughes.net, what used to be direcway
<6> check your neighbors for open cable access via their wireless access points.. dont pay **** and then you can kick dialup
<0> jarrett what state do you live in
<1> my gf has that, there's isn't that expensive, IIRC
<4> that's the $100 i was talking about
<4> we already checked into it
<4> my mom didn't want to pay that
<1> wow
<0> tell her you'll pitch in $30 a month
<4> hell no, lol
<1> I would...
<0> I would to
<4> i have to save up $600 for a half-stack :ox
<0> no way I'd be stuckw ith dialup
<1> Me either
<1> esp when I had to use 14.4k under linux for so long
<4> well i have had it for 4 or 5 years, so i am used to it
<1> I paid for wi-fi for every computer in the house, plus a router, plus some for DSL
<2> i downloaded peanut linux on 14.4 a long time ago
<4> but the thing is we just bought this 56K modem PC card and it was like $50.00 and that's a waste if i still getting the same speeds..
<1> I wouldn't pay $50 for a 56k
<4> it's a V.92
<0> yeah but if you have line noise
<1> I could get you a 56k modem for free...
<0> you're gonna get dropped off and ****
<4> well maybe i should take it back then...
<0> drop to v34
<3> V.92 is very old tech
<3> not new
<0> v92 is the newest "modem" protocol
<3> even my ISP suppport it while most of the users access the net usig cable and dsl
<0> it lets like x2 and v90 work together or something
<4> i don't get dropped, i just get slow speeds
<0> the speed it says at connect isn't a "fixed" speed jarrett
<3> _jarrett do you get different speed when you reconnect?
<0> it's just the speed you get when you happen to connect
<3> like 21 and 34 sometimes
<0> it goes up and down from that though
<4> i always see 21
<4> :o\
<3> woow
<3> that's really bad then
<3> you said PCI card?
<3> pr PC card for laptop?
<4> yea
<4> yea'
<4> yea *
<3> maybe you don't have latest driver?
<3> haha
<4> it came with a CD
<3> 2006 and old driver
<3> nowway
<4> i installed all the drivers
<3> amm..
<4> ?
<3> man analog modems chiops matured really but now even you can buy a card for 5$
<4> i was on like a 20 ft. cord, and i unplugged it and plugged in like a 4 ft. one to see if it was that
<4> well i guess BestBuy is expensive
<4> lol
<1> very
<4> i guess i am taking this **** back then
<1> I have 3 modems
<1> I paid about $5 each
<4> if i can't get atleast 51k
<1> If you're willing to pay $50 for 56k, why not $30 for satellite?
<4> because like i said before there is no satelitte service out here
<4> except hughes.net, and it's $99.00
<1> get a bunch of neighbors to get it
<4> :o\
<2> 99$ is the professional service
<4> ...
<1> that should lower the cost some
<2> the normal is 70
<3> satlite latency is bad
<2> they may be trying to rip ya
<3> you will hate it
<4> none of my neighbors have a computer except, my grandmother, and we already asked her if she wanted to split it with us, and both of us get it, and she wasn't interested
<4> because she never gets online
<1> ah
<1> well, dialup ****s, but it's better than nothing
<3> yeah man
<1> actually, I take that back
<4> i hope they will take this **** back...
<3> _jarrett what do you do with internet
<1> nothing is better than 14.4k
<1> I would die before I use that again
<4> download music, and browse
<4> i am always downloading music
<1> well
<1> take that $50 modem back
<1> and buy some
<1> music
<4> 648 MP3(s) on 28.8K :ox
<1> how high is your phone bill?!
<4> i download a new CD all the time
<4> idk
<4> i don't pay it
<1> wow
<4> it's AOL
<1> I think we had like 5 hrs free a month, and then we pay after that
<4> unlimited service :o\
<1> Gosh, I hate AOL
<4> yea, but it's the best dial-up service in my opinion
<4> i have tried PeoplePC and NetZero and they all ****
<1> I hate the browser, really. I haven't dealt much w/ the company
<4> i don't use the browser, i use IE 7.0, but on other ISP's i constantly get dropped, even if call waiting is disabled
<4> :o\
