I may be getting DSL

[matrixrefugee]

My Internet connection died royally last night, when I was sparring with a buddy on the MxO, and I couldn't get it back up for hours. This morning it would only connect for a half an hour, and right now, it's still acting sickly. I don't trust it, and this might be someone's way of telling me to bite the bullet and get DSL. Not that I'm really looking forward to paying three times what I'm paying for Juno, but the pluses are really outweighing the minuses right now: Faster connection (I'll be able to download/upload videos and music files and MxO patches in a jiffy), plus the MxO will run a lot smoother. And most importantly: Dad and I won't have to bicker over the phone line! So, if I disappear again for a while, I assure you, the wait will be worth it, since you'll seeing me on here a lot more often, since I won't be having to unhook to let someone use the phone.

You WILL NOT regret the switch, trust me. I haven't had dial-up since...gosh, 1996? 97? I think the straw that broke the camel's back were all the times I'd 'dial up' and be able to hear my parent's phone conversations through the computer. They were NOT too pleased!
But, yes- it is expensive, but it's completely worth it. And, really, the price will be somewhat negated by faster download times- that could have been time spent waiting for your dial up connection...
I hope to talk to you on AIM sometime- I miss you! It's been too long.
