Man, I used to hate getting disconnected. Dad used to freak out everytime we'd get a bill for all the calls the modem made, (which was a hell of a lot!), so whenever I had to reconnect I was just thinkin' about that bill getting bigger and bigger!
That's one of the great things about cable, you're always connected so whenever you wanna quickly look something up you can. Of course, it also means you end up spending waaaay too much time online coz it's just always there.
