How come I'm the only dope that doesn't have a cool pic pop up? How do you do that?

In the bottom right of the page, there is a box that says

Forum link (for most forums):

Cut and past the link below it directly into your message box.

It looks like this:

(I added a few spaces so it would show up) Anyway, just post that in your message and the pic is there.....

Bottom right has three fields. Use the top one for forums. It says Forum link (for most forums). Copy and past what is in that top field into your post

Man! I thought Comcast was pretty fast!

How are you guys all up in the 7K's???

I have Comcast and was in the 7ks. I assume it had to do with "SpeedBoost", which gives you double the bandwidth for boosts of speed when downloading. My speed used to be in the 4's.

Alright. Sorry for the derail.

You would type this in:

without the space between the first IMG and the ] and the space at the end between the URL and the ]

You are so close.....

Im not much up on computer tech, what is speed boost? Is that something you can download?

bobman1235 · August 2006

Nah, it's just this feature they started offering one day. Basically when they sense (somehow) that you're downloading a file between like, I think 2 and 8 MB, they just double the maximum speed they allow you to download at for the duration of that download.

I'm pretty sure it was only certain markets that got it, though.

EDIT: It's apparently actually called PowerBoost. Here's a brief article about it .

Got ya beat! After a certain point latency is what's important, for gaming anyways. Extra bandwidth is wasted if you can't get the latency down.

Well, not quite so fast to the West Coast:

WOW what you work for the "New ATT" what was that a T3 or something?
