YAY !!! Im in the real world.....

I am so pleased for you because broad band is so much faster than dial up. When I lived in a village broadband didn't reach there. But it did reach a city three miles away so many of my friends had broadband. When I moved I was delighted to get broadband however about a month after getting it a computer specialist had to remove many viruses from it. Enjoy your speedy broadband.

Cool - isn't it wonderful to be so free and easy! xxx

aw thats so good you got sattelite BB, i have been on dial up for 7 yrs lol and looking at sattelite BB but bit expensive...

Oh my word woman, pull yourself together already!! It is really cool having all that speed at the touch of a button. I am so glad you could update. My sister had dial up and just wanted to die. They finally got DSL and she loves it..

Congratulations on the Broadband! I never knew you could participate in mylot using dial-up. Mylot takes time to load with DSL, how much more with dial-up. I can understand the exitement. Welcome to the real world of fast internet connection. Now you can truly appreciate the internet. Cheers!

Cheers to you! It's always nice to have something silly put a smile on your face! We just replaced our toilet bowl and my days are full of smiles!!! LOL all the best. D

Good for you, I can't wait to move into my new house in September as we just have dial up at the moment until we get into our new home, then it's broadband baby all the way!

Hey Calais...that's great. I could get satellite but it's just too expensive. The thing that annoys me with broadband is that an optic fibre cable runs right outside my front yard...down to the primary school and across to the rural transaction centre. But we are told broadband is not available to us. Grrrrr. My friend has satellite but she has lots of issues with it not working sometimes.

Congrats on getting satellite broadband. Enjoy :)

I am so pleased that you now have broadband. I moved in 2005 to a new area where I could have broadband, but before that I lived in a village that could only get dial up. It was crazy because houses just three miles away in the city has broadband. It is quick isn't it? About a month after I got broadband my computer stopped working. I had got many viruses in just one month.

Congratulations, that's fantastic!!! I love to hear good news like this. I hope you realize, of course, that being on a high-speed connection now exposes you ever so much more to malware on the Internet. In case you don't already have these, my bare-minimum recommendations are: antivirus and antispyware with automatic updating, scheduled scanning, real-time monitoring, and e-mail scanning (only necessary if you use Outlook or some other desktop client); as well as a personal firewall (preferably with some form of Intrusion Prevention). If you think you might be lacking these, and would rather not be forking out more money on top of the arm+leg you're paying now for satellite, here's a free, all-in-one suite that has everything I mentioned: http://daol.aol.com/safetycenter Good luck to you, and welcome to broadband! Yay!!! :D -santuccie P.S.: Laughing at dumb jokes is still good for your health!!!

That sounds so cool. It should work better than broadband connection. I envy you:) I think from now on you can post so many responses here:)

Yes, having faster speed to connect to the internet is an awesome thing. I have had DSL for about a year. Wouldn't want to go back to dial up ever. I don't know how I did it for as long as I did.

Wow you must be out in the outback. It's about time you caught up with the real world. I have broadband and it is still slower than dirt. I can watch molasses drip from a carton faster! :)

It's amazing isn't it! I can remember when I first switched I was amazed that I typed in my search and hit enter and the pages were loaded before I even looked up at the screen! You'll never go back to dial up I'm sure of that..

Lucky you. I would love broadband. I am still on dialup. Our local telephone company have been trying to talk me into broadband for a year or two. But it is too expensive. If I had limited downloads, it would be quite cheap, but as you probably know, I need unlimited downloads to do all my internet work.

Yah !!! haha congradulations, couldn't wait to use it either hahaha now you'll be flying
