Right now I'm with AT&T's Economy Internet Service.

It gets the job done, but I want to stream Football games mainly this year and so far its not cutting it. (Maybe a slight upgrade in Memory would be good for my PC too)

So what is the best ISP for the price, and for the Speed?

Processor speed & Internet speed play a big part of it. If you got fast one and not the other, it wont help.

Did the people at Best Buy tell you that?

Unless you have an absolute relic of a processor and are trying to multitask, the processor has a negligible impact on net speed.

Find out what ISPs are offered in your area and get the best bang for the buck.

I know when I upgraded from Windows 98 and a 1.86g Intell processor to a Windows XP with a 2.56 Duo Core 4 years ago, now just 4 months ago I upgraded again to a AMD 2.6g Quad Core processor and Windows 7. Each time, downloads got faster with TWC cable.

Next time I will go for the Zenon, or what's ever out in 3 years.

Well most like it comes from version of Windows you are running and those old azz hard drives that are slow. That's the only thing that MAY slow down your Internet on downloads.

Plus, remember, TW is a shared connection. You can be fast one day and the next day it will be slower...depends on how many people in your neighborhood are downloading porn and fragging people on MW2

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.

      I dont know how much of his salary would come across and how much a trade would cost but I feel Kmet would be the sort of TE Canales and Morgan would like
