Root Thunderbolt ads

Two heads are always better than one :). Certainly not trying to step on your toes.

no toe steppin to worry about homey ;) and heck yes 2 heads are better than one :) the trumped comment was a comical way of paying you a compliment, as youre a phandroid forum jedi :D
 
Possible, but still behind the curve for the time frame it was released, dual core is hitting now and more memory is the standard, evo is just a little odd ball there...if they would have released it last year it may have been an acceptable alternative...not a year later was my point...

People probably wont be trying to decide between the thunderbolt and the evo now it will be between the thunderbolt and the evo 3d or the atrix or etc., dont think it matches up there...

I agree.
 
frenchy, i watch the weather channel pretty religiously in the mornings b4 i goto work, and i gotta say, you look like a dood that they have on every once in a while from the digital media desk.... you dont work at TWC do ya? LoL

Nah I don't unfortunately....He must be a good lookin guy though :D.
 
This is how i see the convo...

GF: Hi my internet doesnt work when my bf is playing COD
BB: What router are you using?
GF: Let me ask BF...the E4200
BB: OK the best router we offer...what is your internet speed
GF: Dunno let me ask BF...30Mbps
BB: OK the fastest internet speed currently offered by TW here
BB: So you have the best router and best speed...must be taking all your bandwidth
GF: OK thank you I'll tell my BF...

woah!!!! .5 up? yowza!! TW is cable modem, yeah? (damnit.... ive been watching the only good Top Gear, the UK Top Gear for like the last 3 hrs and ive developed brit speak LoL)
Im using midcontinents cable modem and just got 18.75 dn and 1.99 up.... not stellar on the up, but manageable. The thing that bugs me still is that the only thing used for upload on a PC is the very small request info you send off when your browser req's the next page, that is of course unless your video chatting or something like that. Your COD upload isnt crazy huge, and if anything, your gf being online usually screws up your game not the other way around regardless of who was online first. Im more familiar (esp from the type of job that i have) with dsl than cable modem, but my best friend is an installer for midcontinent and has been for about 6 years, if your bband (broadband) issue isnt resolved, id be interested in seeing what he did and i can ask my friend if he has any suggestions from there. Good luck matt and Godspeed (more UK talk LoL)

She does video chat with her family in ohio. It was pretty laggy but I had xbox on cod and who knows what her moms net is so I ignored it. The upload isn't huge on cod but it's enough that getting .5 effs me up. They could barely connect when I called them after she rebooted it. Hopefully it gets resolved thursday I pay good money for turbo with power boost.

As far as the router I changed my channel from 6 to 11 everyone in the apt complex is on 6. Also changed 2.4 width to auto, it was on 20

Also the xbox isn't on wireless its wired to the router

makes more sense why youre gf is getting kicked off not you as youre wired and shes wifi... guess which one a router leans towards lol

oh and what speed are you provisioned at? im provisioned at 20 dn and 2 up, and im at VERY near that. i could imagine that youre set at the same

You know I cant recall, I pulled 18 dn a few times, so im not sure if its 15 and that was my boost kicking in or if its 20 and i just couldnt reach it. Pretty sure I used to get more than 2 up though. I ran a speedtest on my phone a few months back when i was on wifi (accidentally actually i was trying to test my 3g) anyhow I swear it was like 5 or 6 up.

I just got an automated call about they fixed something in my area that may have been affecting it, would i like to cancel my appt, uh...hell no get your asses out here.
 
This thread has gone from ads, to evo vs thunderbolt, to computer problems, geek squad fail, to internet speed comparisons. Haha, I love it!

BTW: Just use something like adblock or no script to block that VZW ad.
