Its over, the next time my msn shows as offline I will officially have no internet connection. The lease line which I have been using from my dads office was meant to end today and probably will do. This means after over 365 days of being permenately connected I will have to say goodbye.

Ahhh crap. I could go back to 56K dial-up, but after being on a 256k/sec line I really wouldn't be able to take it. Tonight I will have to persuade my dad to get DSL or ADSL. I don't mind either, but I need one soon or I just won't be able to live.

After over a year of having his three computers connected... er-no is internetless.

Pity me, please.

And I'm getting broadband on the 12th. :op. Finally.

So, er-no hasn't been on for a while. Does this mean he has now been disconnected? Does this mean we can now say what we *really* thought of him? ;-)

Doubtful. I would kill to get rid of this hamster wheel of a dial up. But i doubt my exchange will be ADSL enabled within the next....Well never actually.

56k does suck so much. I've been using it for two years now - I just want DSL so damn much.

Well, at least you can get out of the house more now - and you can finally get down to some serious gaming without the need to surf the net! :)

And i'm sure there'll be someone living nearby who'll also be connected, heh heh heh.... :)
