Let's Brawl boys

We don't have Comcast anymore. Here, we have Dish Network. I ask people about Comcast, and I get a blank look.

So, you say you have a USB connector. Is it wireless, or does it have a wire you connect to a wall? (I know, I sound like a n00b asking all these questions. I'm just asking so I could brawl someone again.)

It's something you connect to a USB port in your computer. It uses Internet Connection Sharing to borrow your connection to connect your Wii to the Internet. Unfortunately, it doesn't take very much of it, so not a whole lot of information gets transmitted through it at one time; thus, the lag is excruciating.

OR maybe you just use Dial-up.

Or maybe you just switch to Verizon Fios and not have to deal with this  :)

I use both, but when I see how much of my connection is being used, it doesn't transmit the maximum amount of data that my phone can receive from the server. Therefore, I know that it is mostly the USB Connector. Had it been powerhoused with hardware, I'm sure there'd be at least some lag, but how much of it would remain, I'm not sure.

I just know that 125 kb/s is a poor gaming speed, and believe you me, that is not how slow my connection really is on a good day.

I don't think my area gets it. If it does, and if it were as affordable as our current ISP, we'd probably switch.

My question is this: Why are you and your family putting up with dial-up when DSL costs only negligibly more for a much faster connection?

[MagmarFire]

Again, it's either not available in my area (because, after all, DSL connection speeds diminish over distance), or it really is too expensive. I think we can barely afford our current ISP as it is, so anything more is probably going over the limit.

Speaking of which, I got my Wi-fi back up. What happened was that someone else was using our wireless connection, which had no effect on the computer in the living room, but it had a drastic effect on the laptops of my mom and my sister. And apparently, it also effected my Wii. We could not go online unless the other guy was offline. So, we got our connection secured, and we got a password so only WE could access it. My Wii's wi-fi now works perfectly. And, I am now ready to accept challenges. No way I am giving away the password to ANYONE.

Preferably, it would be that you didn't know the password to begin with.

007 at first was me, then when Kris joined that was me and Scotty was 007.

I needed the password to get the internet set up on my Wii in the first place. It's not like my dad was going to do it for me...

Why? It's not like he's gonna give it away. I think he's smarter than you give him credit for.

I have our password sort-of memorized. Doesn't mean people can steal it.

I forget the important stuff as soon as I learn it. Not the school stuff, I mean the "need to know basis" stuff.
