• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm getting Broadband!!!

well I can't wait, the main thing for me is that I will be able to go on to the internet during the day without the cost of the internet call going through the roof.

It should be operational by Saturday, we are just waiting for the stuff to come (my fiancé ordered it online and it is getting posted out)!!

Weeeeeeeee!!!

Funny, I always have to dial-up to my ISP even for my broadband. Perhaps you were talking about cable. Oh, congrats to you Jay, you now can go to shockwave.com and play their superb games!

I fought the switch to broadband for a long time. The cost!!!! But now that I've been up on a cable modem for over 6 months I can not imagine how I surfed without it!!! It helps if you got a fast cpu and tons of ram.

Have fun,
Mikey

This date may still be subject to change and so
you should check back in a few days for a further update. A precise
installation time cannot be guaranteed but work will normally be completed
by the end of business day.

The problem with broadband activation is they take 2 weeks to install (at least in my case). Then of course, there is the clause that says "subject to change" and "cannot be guaranteed"...those tricky business people!

BT have confirmed to us that your line should be enabled for ADSL during 12/ 12/2002. A precise installation time during the day cannot be guaranteed
but work will normally be completed by the end of the business day.

1 week and counting, I am so happy.

I'm getting broadband!!!
