How many people here still use dialup?

[Jpark]

my parents have dialup, but when i'm at school i have t1 and when i'm at work over the summer i have cable.

so breaks are horrible for me internet wise.

Like here. I *could* get broadband if I wanted it, I suppose... but I would have to do one of the following:

1) Set up a satellite internet connection - $1000 setup + ~$100/month for horrendous service
2) Set up air gateway repeating system... min $1000 per hop + ~$50/month for fairly good quality service

So right now I'm on dialup. I'd rather pay off my car than set up either of those hellacious options.

In Columbus, OH???

I live a little ways southeast of Columbus. It's just the nearest "big city" that people recognize, and I'm in town as much as I can.

Cable Modem. Had it for years and years at $40 Canadian/month ever since we got it. Can't argue with that.

You might want to add to the poll "Has broadband at school but dial up at home" I would fall into that category.

Cable and DSL are still not available in my area...

I'm going to burn down my cable company.

 

[Tiamat]

At my parents place is dialup. At my apartment I have DSL. At school is a crippled OC3. At work is a typical T1.

Strange...

Everytime I read "dialup", I get a chill.

😛

What's a dial?

Oh and this question has been asked to death.

 

[eplebnista]

I will never go back again (no, i have broadband)

 

[thirdlegstump]

I actually tend to get more work done on dial up than when I'm on cable/dsl.
