all day. Yesterday it was ok. Been having trouble with the router. I have Time Warner, upstate NY. I don't know if it's the weather (getting icey), a lot of people on today or my router.

2. You are not alone. I'm on dial-up and have learned to live with it |
|
I can't afford DSL, so I just deal with the slow loading pages. But luckily, I have TS1 at my office, so whatever i can't load here, I just download at work.

7. spybot and adaware... cable costs $78 per month if you use comcast |
|
And that's assuming you're already a customer, add on another $12 if you're not a customer.
