At Last! BROADBAND (Read 444 times)

Oh boy - at last I've got it.

Supposed to be connected tomorrow (1st October) but checked tonight and it's on.

Now browsing the screen shots is real fun - shots appear in a second or two instead of giving you time to pour (and down!) a stiff drink. And by the time they had done you needed it, I tell ya.

I've had hardly any time just lately to come on the forum let alone fly the sim but now everything is just sooooo much faster I feel like I've just got more hours in the day.

And that's with only a 1/2 meg connection! Wink

welcome to the club:)
although be warned, anytime you have to use a 56k connection, you will get irritated and frustrated at how slow it is Grin

Sweet! I'm about ready to get it at the house too, eventually...I almost have my parents convinced that if we split the cost...I already have the network set up, so it would be pretty easy...
