So “YOU” are the one responsible for my rates going up $5.00! That’s what happens to me... when you drop that extra IP (and the $6.95 monthly fee) lol :)

lol
i just think its a pain cause we got rid of it so it would be a cheaper monthly charge but now it just went back up again at about the same but i sure do @Home upgrades a lot more since they are getting more money and maybe make the upload faster which would be nice
i think 512Kbps at least if not 1 Mbps
1 Mbps upload would be the best or higher if they could
but 1 Mbps would be fine i think
even 512 but 1 Mbps is better or more like of course

too bad @home and @work cant just be one thing
like @Home be for anyone
maybe one day the upload will go up who knows i forgot how fast upload was when i first go cable modem 3 years ago cause i didnt even really know the difference then lol

You guys aren't paying anything compared to me... $59.95 for 1.5Mbps/128kbps... that's crap.. of course I'm on DSL and I have guaranteed bandwidth... but oh well... better than 56k... plus I don't have to pay a cable bill.. I'll keep my free cable! :D
<sarcastic>um... yeah</sarcastic>

Wanna get pwned? :nod:
