Well I'm not that patient. My ISP recently deleted 2 of their access numbers for my area; which is a large city. So now I only have 2 access numbers left to use when signing on.

If I'm d'ling add-ons/mods for SH 3, etc. I always burn them to cds. One of these days I'm going to call my cable TV company & see if I can get a bundle package. Then I'll tell my current ISP that they can take their crappy service & shove it up their collective rectal cavities!
A couple of people here were kind enough to send me GWX on dvd, otherwise I'd never have gotten it. When you think that you're ready for that you should ask around, explaining your situation & I'm sure someone will do the same for you.
For now I think that you'll be prety pleased with SH3 Cmdr. You will probably wonder how/why you played the game without it.
Good hunting...
