Up until last November I didn't have a PC at home at all, but thanks to my obsession with Pet Talk, I purchased a second-hand one from work so I could feed my addiction through the weekends. I signed up with cable and got a pretty good package because I have cable TV. Our telephone company (Telus) was having troubles for the longest time so I decided to pass them over. I have not had any trouble with response time at all. I love it.
