broadband users: can you go back to 56k?

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

Absolutely NOT!

 

[SCSIfreek]

no fvcking way!!! I couldn't live without internet.... er more like I can't live without CS.. . wait a minute, I did survived for half a month without any internet during my move to California <----

I wonder how I got through it.

 

[CubicZirconia]

No.

 

[oldirtythao]

nopers... i think most ppl now have more than one computer, networkin and junk is like.. more common, so not many ppl are willing to be back on 56k... but.. whats your opinion on th is akumaX... someone likes to start threads and not followup haha

 

[Maverick]

made the mistake of moving in with a guy before realizing broadband was not available in the area. I did it it once, I will NEVER make that mistake again.

I couldn't go back to it, no. Well, technically, we never had 56K. We went from 33.6 to cable several years ago. I've got the LAN at school, which is good most of the time, but I think my Roadrunner at home is faster on the whole, so no matter where I am now, I've got high-speed access. I'd be very hard-pressed to use dial-up.

 

[BigJ]

absolutely not

 

[illusion88]

No way could I go back. It would be a terribly hard thing to do.

 

[Tallgeese]

nope...no way

 

[Stifko]

I don't think so.

 

[Nessal]

To be honest....I don't know...but when I think about it deeply, most of the things I do on broadband isn't really important...ie gaming with 50 ping and loading webpages in 3 seconds, etc...its nice, but not a must.

 

[bolido2000]

I rather die that live in disgrace

 

[Boogak]

No sirree bob.

 

[dakata24]

[brtspears2]

[FoBoT]

broadband users: can you go back to 56k?

[Amused]

I would have to be dragged, kicking and screaming... not to mention threatened with a very painful death. And then, I might consider it.

 

[fire400]

lol... 56k!!

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Don't have any choice.. My cable got turned off on Friday.

I don't even have a 56k modem laying around. 28.8 for me. :Q

It's better than nothing.

Dont have a cell phone to tether off of?

 

[JMapleton]

I've had broadband for 13 years. Now way I could go back to dial up.

 

[Spook]

I've had broadband for 15years now... Every time i've moved (4-5 times), I've verified that I could get broadband at the new place. We finally got a house last year, and I verified I would be able to get FIOS before moving, its awesome. 42Meg down, 30meg up...
