How many people here still use dialup?

[neonerd]

I'm curious because a lot of the time after putting rather large images, we put "not safe for dialup, or dialup death"....i personally only know two people still who have dialup; everyone else has broadband. Do people here still have it?

 

[BW86]

I will never go back again

 

[Kalvin00]

Had it until..4 months ago.

 

[illustri]

voted never go back
you should fix your poll though, there are other broadband options than cable

 

[midwestfisherman]

I love my cable modem 😀

 

[Colt45]

dialup is for primitive beings

 

[DaWhim]

temporarily on dailup for now when I live in home for a week or two during breaks.

[CFster]

If I lose my cable, I'll throw my computer away.

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.

 

[Whitecloak]

I have dial-up. Will be getting broadband in a couple of weeks.

 

[gistech1978]

i did my time w/ dialup
never again if i can help it.

 

[TheHunley]

I'm still on dialup, only thing I can get where I live, will be getting wireless internet soon though. :/

 

[SmoochyTX]

Not me at all.

I have cable at home and at work. There's no option for that in your poll.

There's also no option when it comes to your grammar/spelling/English. :brokenheart:

 

[naruto1988]

[NikPreviousAcct]

I use broadband at home and at work for both internet and phone.

dial up is soo 20th century.

 

[Frodolives]

There should be an option to vote "I'm on dialup because there's no broadband available here."

I live on a mountain, and the only thing I could get presently is expensive satellite that would still be unsatisfactory for gaming even if I could afford it.

"I do and I plan on keeping it for a while" isn't a fair way to represent those like me, so consider the poll skewed.
