Heh...I've been using the Tmobile GPRS network for the past couple of weeks now (the roommate decided the cable bill wasn't all that important apparently), and I'm elated when I can hit 100kbit/s down...usually hovering somewhere around 30-40kbit/s down. I'm also limited to just web, email, and AIM. IRC ports are blocked (yes, I know I could set up a proxy, but without 'net in the house....), so I'm going through some withdrawals there :( eric On Jan 16, 2008 7:53 AM, Nathan Aubrey wrote: > Up here in Payson, I'm about ready to go back to dialup!
