[Don't Blink]

Hello,

I was thinking about getting a new internet. I have DSL right now and really want a faster one. I wish i could tell my speed but don't know how. If theres a way please tell me and i can tell you the information you need. I was thinking about choosing Road Runner (RR) Heres the information.

Which one is good? And second theres a line saying "Static IP Addresses: 0" What does that mean? Also Can i host a OT with this internet? Not getting lot of player just like 10 players online.


I think i have this one since they couldn't give me the 6.0 Mbps b/c i was far.

Download Max. Speed of 3.0 Mbps, Upload Max Speed of 384 Kbps. Pricing good for first 12 months when bundled with qualifying services. After 12 months, current list price applies. Pricing applicable to new broadband customers when switching from cable modem service.

I would go for comcast, ordering a premodded modem and use their so called "0/0" configs, which practically gives you the max speeds they got.

Could you explain a little more on the Premodded Modem?

 

[Cato]

All cable modems can be modded to use a unofficial firmware, where you can edit the settings you want and then load the so called "0/0" config onto it. Requires that you have access to cable internet tho.
