How much did you have to pay (monthly fee)? I have cable modem (Adelphia)and my parents only have to pay $19.95 a month! Cheap, huh? The weird thing is the price is only suppose to last for 3 months. Well it's been about a year now, and it's still $20 a month. Oh well, as long as it's cheap, i won't complain.

I'm going through Mediacom, the usually charge about $50 a month for it but we get 2 months at $20 and after that it goes up to $40 a month, I only have to pay for half of it though (my computer's not the only one hooked up to it) plus we got the instalation for free (they usually charge $90 for instalation) We signed up through Best Buy otherwise it wouldn't have been free.

Mediacom was preety POed when they found out they wern't getting anything for the instalation .

we also bought our own cable modem (D-Link) and a router (Linksys) so we can hook up all 4 of uor computers

PP, did you forget to start this week's poll?

[Purple Penguin]

oops, I guess all this excitment over my new BB and the fack that I'm sick messed up my thought process.

would you mind announcing the winner of last weeks poll while I start the next?

[ian]

Sure!
Just got excited of how fast BB is, eh?
