I think we\'ve already established that he can\'t get broadband... :P

I didn\'t think it was area-specific that dialup these days costs you more than a monthly broadband service, regardless of what services you can or cannot receive or where you are. Might be wrong though, who knows. :)

Moogie broadband costs more than dial up in a lot of places its only places that don\'t have big corporates owning all the phone lines in the country that have dear dial up *grumbles*.

Cool thanks for the info. guys, cause I\'ve had bad experienes with the internet being rediculus and I can\'t get broadband.  It\'s just that the game looks pretty good for not having lag.  But from what I hear, it\'ll be fun.

You can get ultra cheap dialup for liek $5 a month... I don\'t know of any Broadband that\'s that cheap.

I\'m paying $45 a month for 3.0 Mb down/384 Kb up DSL service from Bellsouth. It\'s a bit expensive, but it rocks0rz. =)

Eh? What the heck is wrong with your ISPs?

Here in sweden we have around $20 for 0.5 and $25 for 8 and 10.
I think 24 is at $29 and 100Mbit is at $40

1. Get a good book
2. That error is due to an old compiler that still uses the .h headers. Get a new compiler, Dev-C++ is good and free.

Now, that was quite offtopic

ARGG... megabytes and megabits ... why did they have to make two different things to measure the same thing... anyway:

1 megabyte -> 8 megabits

... I see no reason for both of these measurements... *sigh*
I am just a figment of you imagination and a byproduct of the worse accident ever... ... or so my mommy says!

A light of hope for rural internet users.  Broadband is on the way. Powerline Internet and More Powerline Internet.
Maybe it will be here by the time a fully functioning, all the characters and bells and whistles PS version come out.  Here\'s to hoping.
