myidisbb Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Yup, 6 * 1024 / 8 = 768Stick to a dynamic IP, better for security.security part was what i was thinking. plus i would think they, as in anyone, could collect too much informatin on a static IP. bad enough when i google i can actually find something from 9 years ago that i type :Danyway g d (sorry for swear words) for $13 dollars more i get 4 times the speed. man.., shaking head. dang, 10 years of using the web internet. wow. all these kids/teens dont know how lucky they are to live in this age of ours. when i was in high school only geeks and nerds took computer class. no one had lcomputers or laptops in 91. and now, tiny cellphones, all these eletric toys. i remember my LtCol in 94 having 1400 modem speed. i had 48 at 96 my first time going to the web. later to 56k afterwards. (poor guy that made the software to get 56k got screwed, saw him on a tv tech show once) japan 25 mb and hong kong 100-to a 1gb internet. europe and usa needs to keep increasing in speed. its hard to think what will there be 10 years from now, beside ps5 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
