Well kiwi, welcome to the world of broadband! I struggle to believe that some people are still on dialup sometimes.. but then every month when i get my bill i realise why!

And true that we have somewhat faster bb speeds than you, but if you believe the latest anti-govt smear campaign, the only way to get our bb above places like Hungary's and Romania's is to steal from our super funds... not quite that bad but you know.

the difference will be remarkable!

Your gonna love it mate. A whole new world of on-line gaming waits at your feet.
I can remember the days of dial up and they were torture. Leaving the computer on all night, only to find that you've lost the connection in the morning

Congrats mate.

P.s used to be quite fast, but I was with NTL who've been bought out by Virgin, who've turned out to be sh#t

Yeah i was playing Guildwars online with dialup for 2 yrs with no problems then i notice the last couple of months the game became unplayable everytime i joined a group and we went into the mission i would have to wait for the latest download which was only 5 to 10mbs but thats like 30min wait so by the time i went in i was way behind, i usually would just quit. I've stop playing GW since. Have played Battlefield 2142 at a mates who has bb and realize there and then i got to get BB, even use to play SH3 with dialup and once i started a host guys were getting 700pings :rotfl: Use to play Americas army on dialup

Far out i remeber the lag i would get, at times i would fire a shot and 3sec later it would fire :rotfl: But i still KEPT PLAYING! :rotfl:

With this BB I aim to do alot of catching up in online gaming
