- $50/mo
- Ameritech says 30 days (the rep I talked with says they take less than 30 days to get there but just say that)
- If I want a router, it's $200 from Ameritech or I can just go get my own at the store or something
- DSL Modem is $10 a month to rent or $200 to buy it
- Installation is free to do a self-install or $200 to get Ameritech to do it
- I am allowed to run a server on the connection

Aw shut the **** up!

Actually, I'm qualified for both; just too poor to pay for it!

...remembers 1.5mb DSL connection just a few months back...

$60/mo to get the service and rent the modem can be cancelled out by killing off one of the phone lines (that'll bring around $40, plus nobody ever calls that number anymore except telemarketers), plus the dialup account is $20/mo in the first place

Kick ****ING ASS!@#$@#%#@#

 

[Fuser Man]

It's one of the best moves I've made in years, getting cable for myhome computer and I managed to get the boss to get DSL for work.
It's been a good year.

Hope you have as much fun and happiness as I did when I got mine. It's almost like getting some pu**y for the first time.
WOO HOO!

w00t

 

[Q]

w00t!!!!!

 

[fury]

I just now re-reverified with my ISP whether or not I'm available (because if I recall, they said I was ready the last time, and when I had my hopes so high and they were about to come and install it, they said it wasn't available)

Looks like I'm still ready, so WOOHOO!

 

[Q]

Try not to hump the DSL guy's leg when he gets there.

 

[Gonzo]

go ahead & hump his leg, probably not the first time, just don't (ahem) mess his leg


glad to hear it

 

[fury]

Ordering tomorrow! *jizz* *jizz* *jizz*

 

[fury]

They're sending in the contract

 

[fury]

contract signed, sent in the mail

 

[fury]

They received the contract a few days ago. I should be expecting it within this month or early November.

 

[fury]

I got the self-install kit today.

Now I have to wait for the Service Completion Date (I guess fancy talk for the DSL guy coming here and taking 2 hours to turn a switch I could locate and turn in 5 minutes over the phone)

 

[Q]

Is the service completion date a big secret? Tell em you're doing life saving research for Stanford...you need this connection NOW!
