    Cable or Satellite in Hawaii

    AMP (since you're not on ICQ), should I get Satellite or Cable TV?

    If satellite, should I get DirecTV?

      I use the school's gigabit ethernet since I am still dorming. But once I get my apartment in the winter, I'm getting Roadrunner.

          No. I came from my mother's womb originally. What about you?

              That makes three of us!

              I'd go back but Eru's dad wouldn't like that.

                  I think you got icq problems eru... mines working fine here...

                  I got cable tv. Had satellite in Cali. I preferred the satellite over cable because of the menu system differences.

                    Eru,

                    Do a search on google groups for direcpc if your thinking of getting that, theres tonnes of complaints about their system doing the rounds.

                    I use one way sat in Australia (not direcpc) and its good if its the only broadband option you have but I would have gone cable or DSL if it was available around here at the time.

                      I lived in Honolulu in '99 and part of 2000. I had a super fast and very reliable Cable modem connection (Road Runner) for about $30/month.

                      I also thought their Digital Cable system was far more advanced than the rest of the US. I had Video on Demand... (Not just Pay Per View Movies, but I could pause, rewind, fast forward on a Pay Per View movie.. ) It was pretty fucking cool!

                      I need to get back there... I miss it!!
