Adding files to the queue every night and waking up to find that your sister picked up the phone at some point while you were sleeping...thank god for zmodem.
checking phone #'s to see if they are considered local...but still dreading the end of the month when the telephone bill came.

Having to sit thru a ridiculously slow ASCII animation, because you are on 2400 and they expect 9600.
Getting dis-connected and having to sit thru the same animation.
Listening to a busy signal over and over and over again...
I actually just flashed my GS v1 to DD-WRT yesterday. I;ve tried many other firmwares...Talis/Freeman, Alchemy, HyperWRT. They all had the same problem when in client mode I would loose the wireless connection to the AP and would have to re-boot to get it to reconnect.
DD-WRT is the only one that works without a hitch, although I noticed HyperWRT had faster thruput (when it worked).
It also doesn't get clogged up like everyother firmware when using Bittorrent or P2p
I live in the NY/NJ area, cablevision is out of control.
I pay close to $130 for cable and a cable modem, those scumbags don't even offer any package discounts.
Not to mention the other day I get a letter from cablevision saying that I have been getting an introductory rate and I was going to have to pay an extra $25 a month.
But I have to disagree about cable having better quality pictures. From what I've seen sat has a much better picture, the only downside is the 20 minutes you have to wait when changing channels and having to pray for clear skys during the mets game.
