"Hi speed Internet"

Hi, i need help on this topic. At the moment i have a 56k modem which gets very annoying. And the pings i have on some online games are terrible.
So i am considering getting a faster connection. So far i have seen The blue yonder cable one, which is avaliable in my area. And a few Adsl providers, but they seem to be more expensive. Can you suggest any good ones to me, because i dont know much on this subject, and wouldn't want to get one that was always slow, and had technical difficulties.
So which are my best options ?
Thanks , Dave

Yes, you're here. Hi :)

Broadband is much more fun than using a modem.. although going back to a modem after a weekend of broadband will be hard.. *grin*

Hm, post count uppage. Rar.

Thanks for help :)

They'll only need the disk so it can install Windows drivers for stuff. You'll have all these on cab files anyway, so dion't worry.

K thanks, what about the operating system disk ? Did they need yours when you had it installed ?

It won't hurt, it's always best to confirm things, it would be annoying if they turned up and couldn't give you a card.

I have just received the conformation letter from Blue Yonder, and it says to ring a number if a Nework interface card is needed, but we told them we needed one when it was ordered, should i still ring up making sure they are bringing one, or should they have a few with them anyway ?
Also it says i need a copy of my operating system, but i haven't got a copy of this on cd, i only have a boot disk which takes ages, is that enough ? and why do they need it ?
Would be greatful if anyone who has had it installed already could answer my questions. Thanks :)

I'm at Luke's now! I WAS BORN FOR BROADBAND!!!

I am so... infuriated by my pathetic modem and BT's total ignorance of my fibre optic lines. Bandits.

YEAH! ping will soon be a thing of the past.
quite annoying playing against someone with a slower modem as they jump around the screen its hard to shoot them in the head.

'twas not a problem good sir, I hope you enjoy it and that I too soon join the information superhighway rather than this rather ridiculous information B-road.
