"10 Things To Do With ADSL"

I am geting a Cable Modem (ADSL)installed on Thursday, however what is the first 10 things I should use it For?

What a suprise! Telewest arrived at about 8.30 am and 60 minuites later I had High Speed Cable Internet. However I am slightly disapointerd although downloads speeds were 41 and 37 (simaltainasly) I tried watching the Mouin Rouge (Lady Marmalade) video @ launch.com It played a lot better than a bog standard 56K modem but it looked more like a VCD than DVD 16fps and 311K so good but still slightly jerky.
Was I expecting too much?

Just found about another Sola Eclispe.....In Affrica so if the guys from Telewest arrive and get my high speed cable installed (Fat Chance) I shall be watching the eclispe in its full glory via BBC.CO.UK.

I thought speed was required to download things faster.. and I wasn't exactly giving him a huge list. I was just trying to help in my small way.

First thing you should do is download Legend Of Mir and marvel how quick it will take to download 210MB.

Rakuga - I do Know what it is Suposed to do but what are the BEST things to do with it?

Bonus - I Know the difference my Girlfreind works for BT openworld, so I know everything about ADSL but cable is in my area NOW and cheeper than BT.

fitz - Good idear but they take up half your screen and they only work if they decet you activly sufing or is there any workarounds?
As for the costs I'v Use Telewest £50 Instalation and £25 a month. (Plus like BT a Phoneline compulsary and is £9 Extra)

Bradman - I could get them before, If I left my PC downloading all night but now I won't have too!

You heard of Telephone bills jonny?
Or infact speed?

I didnt think so :/

Well online gaming idiot :D j/k you get like pings of 20, also download stuff faster

and why r you getting adsl if u dont know anything about it may I ask?

The first thing you should use it to do, is find out the difference between ASDL and cable modems, and then tell us which you really have!!
