Title: Yee-Haw! I'm a-gettin' DSL!
Post by: UncleBob on October 20, 2005, 07:15:15 PM
Well, I got a letter in the mail last week saying that I'm now able to get Verizon DSL at home!  So I'm getting me DSL - Just in time for the DS to go online...

Anywhoo... I'm wondering, Verizon offers two different plans for me, the cheaper one being $15/month for 768kbs... Should that be fast enough to go on-line with the DS?  Anyone have any clue?

Yeah, it should be fast enough.

Yeah, 768K is a typical DSL speed. Perfectly adequate for games and webtron use.

Yay!  I scored me a broadband adapter for my GCN - for $2.99.  (Aside from that, I also got a modem for $2.99 - just for the novelty though...).

Yay!  My DSL is turned on!

Boo!  My DSL kit won't arrive until tommrow.

haha I've known some girls with DSL since atleast '93, and some of them still brag about it

p.s. Uncle Bob's post sounds kinda funny if you replace the use of DSL w/ ummm DSL

we're not talking about LSD stevey, we were talking about DSL.  You'll want it when you see it, but you won't know it till you get it.

I think I'm gonna quote myself
