Hey guys and gals, I just had a question that maybe you have enccountered.
I have Comcast Cable and I live in Jersey. My average download speed is 4Mpbs down and comcast said that it an "ok" or acceptable speed. They told me it is 6Mpbs down MAX.
My question is, is there anything I can do to get closer to the 6 down that they say i can do? Thanks in advance.

He is on Cable, makes no difference.. The likely cause is that cable systems are generally shared between the all the people in one set area, so you will find the more people with net, the lower the download speeds. Try downloading overnight when not many people will be still online.

Kid, you don't know history. Iv been reading about it. And what the call "absint" now is nothing. Its just strong as hell (55%-73%) And your kind of dizzy, feels like things are moving. If you go back in the time from the real absint was created, i can tell you that was some other shit. Made painters crazy. Don't know if you knew about it, but many famous painters etc. who drank absint went crazy. They said it was some kind of acid. But i see your point. Absint today only get you drunk, and a strange way of being dizzy, and some may get some panics. But we are all different.
Btw... wtf is wrong with me, im making a huge post 
*checking bodytemp* bah.. 39c
