Guest guest Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 My mom is threatening to update our dial-up AOL connection stuff by the end of the week because that's when our protection expires and everything's been getting so slow but the last time we did it, the internet was so physically painful that I couldn't stand to be anywhere _near_ the computer while the connection was on for several months! We've thought of trying fiber optik before because, unlike cabled services, you can actually turn it off. Is anyone else on here using fiber optik and if so do you like it? (please hurry, she said she'd put it off until Saturday so I could ask you guys) -Glitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the problem is not within the fiber optics, but rather the device that converts it back to something usable by your computer.

So if it happens to your home more frequently, why would they care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
