I wouldn't think it would heat up the processor.

I hope not. Anyway, I don't have heating problems, so it wouldn't be an issue anyway....

I think the heating problems come from o'clocking...trying to make the system do more than it was designed to do.

Yeah. I don't overclock. I don't see a point in it. Why take a change for just a little speed boost?

Yes, I have enough speed now with DSL. No way to increase speed with dial-up.

You are making me feel like the only dial-up user on the planet!

I am so glad DSL (And very fast, may I add) is SUPER cheap in Tokyo!

UD might make your CPU produce more heat, but not enough to cause damage, unless you are already borderline. It uses 100% CPU all the time, but does not overload ether, if you fire up a game that needs more resources, it will use less, but the overall always stays at 100%.

UD is using 99% on my computer now.

It should be cheap everywhere. 50.00 a month here.

we're paying like $35 here My mom works for the same company as the isp (it's a telecom company - I do my coop for their competition ) but the regular price is about $40 I think. Dialup is $20, so ADSL sure is worth having!

It is 40 here...

In Tokyo, you can get a line with 12 Mbps for $40 something!!! For $24, you can get 8 Mbps. I am sure that is better than what most people in the US have....

Japan is so much ahead of us in technology....

You're right. The phone companies here have a monopoly...just rip you off and you don't have a choice for service.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:468, old post ID:2641

I get 200k up and 200k down if Im lucky. I'm close to the CO too! I should be getting a few megs! I'd like to have a DS3 that would be so cool!!!

Tokyo used to have a high price for broadband because the government controlled those things. Now, they have opened the market and there is very high competition.

High competition=Lower prices!

I love Tokyo even more now that I know about these prices!

12Mbps would be NICE!

I don't even know what my speed is!

There's tests you can do online. They are not all that accurate though. You can also tell by downloading a file. But I realized some browsers download slower then others, so really, your connection is faster then you think - it's all the Windows handling of data that slows things down!

I am sure it isn't 12 Mbps or even close to that!

I can't even imagine that! I think I would be REALLY shocked to have something so fast!

I had someone tell me they had 1GB download using dial-up. Yeah, ok. DS0 is not suddently fiber optic just like that!

Right now, it says that I haven't gained any points on the IceTeks team page, but on my computer, it says I have some points. When will it update?

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:468, old post ID:2722

I think I read somewhere, it is 12 hours. I went to the FAQ forum page, to see if I could find any info for troubleshooting. Still can't get mine to work.

I am sorry to hear that....

Yeah, the team stats only update every 12 hours.

Wren, did you try signing up a new account, manbe you typed in a different password then you wanted to when you first signed up. And now it won't let you do nothing.

I did a reinstall, changed all info and you now have another member.
