Southwestern Bell has been spitting out some ANTI-CABLE Modem commercials. Ones that show families on overnight schedules taking turns with the computer so they can get the "FULL SPEED". No cummon, anyone that is on cable modems know that is not true. that is false advertisement at it's finest.

What do you mean not true? Cable modem works on a line so if someone else on your street uses cable and is on, it takes away from your bandwith. They are just showing how cable is faster, but not all the time.

Wanna know what kills my cable connection? When someone is uplaoding something over a meg. It kills upstream bandwidth, because f*cking AT&T limits us to 128kb up, but over 3mb down... Bastards. I don't want to runa server... I jsut want performance that I paid for...

Any of you with an ounce of knowledge about Best Buy computer support - well Future Shop isn't any better. And soon all the Future Shop stores will be converted into Best Buy's...</strong><hr></blockquote>
You mean there is another company that has worse (or the same) support than futures shop??? I find that hard to believe!!! NO ONE can have worse support than future shop!!
we don't have many computer ads down here...
the odd IBM or Compaq commercial, or some Intel ads....
no AMD ads :(
oh, i forgot to mention the stupid ads for ISP's....

Does anyone have a CS skin for this guy?.....I would love to take a SIG550 to his cranium. :D

There is also a very Bad Tolga Computers commercila in Ontario that shows the tech working behind a glass window wearing what looks to be a dentist/doctor overcoats.
Totally Lame.
