Rep Power: 0  | What is your internet connection?
What is your internet connection, and are you using a router to your
computer or not? I'm using cable.
And my internet connection is almost 3 mbit with my
router because the cable is 10 mbit that is shared with 3 computers.
Regards, Blade1941.

Rep Power: 7 | I have Verizon DSL right now. I had Comcast before and it was a better connection but their technical/customer service really stinks! :mad:
I'm thinking about getting Verizon's FIOS if they can wire it to my house. It's supposed to be UBER fast but only $10 more than what I'm paying now.

Rep Power: 3 | Cable.. I had Premium but honestly didn't think it was worth it so dropped to Basic and haven't noticed any real difference and pay $30 a month less.
