[ARCHIVED THREAD] - just got comcast highspeed!

Posted: 3/22/2006 6:12:27 PM EDT

after years with AOL5.Slow, then AOL9.Slow, i finally got the chance to upgrade to High-speed. its through Comcast Cable.

can i now shit-can aol and get rid of it and the cost of AOL ? or do i need to keep that for backup?

and Comcast is currently blocking pop-ups, so on myspace ( i know, ban myspace for the children ) when i click on the forums link on there comcast blocks it from opening the new window. how do i stop this?

Yes, and no.

I'm on myspace, and actually like it

but I can't answer this one. I think there's a setting.

You do not need AOL, you'll be paying them for absolutely nothing.
