New PPC Browser : Skyfire - MERGED - Page 39

It seems that the browser doesn’t really allow heading to bandwidth checking sites. All the biggies are blocked, and dslreports as a whole, I cannot get to load. So, the sneaky text.dslreports.com is also blocked. This MAY not be blocked, but I cannot get any of them to load.

But, I DID find one obscure site that let me load the BW test, I won’t list it here, but the BW seems to be between 2.6-2.9MBs, probably high end DSL or Cable.

Cool with me. I can wait, just noting something I came across

What are the chances Skyfire will be sending out more SMS's tomorrow? Could it be golden text fridays?

It would seem likely at this point as none have gone out since last friday. That should be ample time to test the current servers and get a few more online. I only hope i'm close enough to the front for whenever the next round is. Users with it are only an hour before me.

I SIGNED UP ON FEB 28TH , i know they are busy over there and they are doing all they can. I just want to try this thing out , it seems like it would work great for responding to clients

I know it has been said before but times people. All of us signed up on the 28th. What time did you sign up (include time zone).

My BW tests are showing 3MB+ now, so maybe some people are not using as much.

Just curious, what time did you get your confirmation? Has anyone who actually has Skyfire posted the time they recieved their confirmation?

I have a 7:45 AM EST confirmation email. I have not text (obviously) and I'd like to know how close I might be.

28 Jan 2008 07:44:05 EST was my confirmation. Which apparently was before peole who already got confirmation which is strange,

You guys do know that the WILL have to start adding ads or start charging people in the future b/c somehow they will have to pay their server costs...

And I really doubt that they will be nice enough to just let everyone take advantage of them using their server time and not somehow try to make some profit.

Hmmm maybe they will sell our personal info like those of us that will use it to login to our online banking... j/k
