OMG Dialup SUCKS!

Well I got into my new place and the phone just got switched over today... not sure if I'm gonna be able to keep my DSL service here :( but man dialup blows chunks... not to mention I have to use NetZero... which really is pretty good here as far as dialup goes but well DAMN

Well I have some good and bad news... First. the good, DSL is availible here (YAY!)
B. the bad, the MORON that I talked to to transfer my phone line disconnected my DSL service... when I called in today I actually got a manager and well it will take till the 16th before I have service again but he said he's gonna try to light a fire under someone's ass (I hope he really does)
Third. the EHHH, well since I was disconnected I will no longer be in Bridging Mode I'll prolly be changed to PPP Mode (the new "better" mode) ehh better my ass PPP SUCKS so I don't know what kind of changes that will do to hosting but I will see what happens and hopefully by the end of the month things will be back to normal... My thanks to Apache for hosting the server, now I have at least one player who knows the troubles I go through making it fun for you all

I spent my time in dialup hell... it was not fun. It wasn't even good dialup. The max it supported was 33.6k, which is utter ****. Now I'm on crappy cable, which is still better that the dialup.

In two weeks I'm on a college connection. 622 mbps baby!
