From your home, do you have broadband or are you still on dial-up?

Sort of... I use my cell phone to get online(Sprint) when my cable(RR) goes out, which is a weekly thing. :D

On cable at home and at work. (However, I did have to resort to dial-up at work last week when the cable went down - I wanted to slit my wrists....OK, so maybe that is an overstatement - but not by much...)

Please forgive my sorry grammar right now....still reeling from the Survivor results.

I do! :eek:

Thinking of getting DSL lite from Bellsouth. I need to do some research first (cost, connection, installation,etc.) because I want to do it by myself.

If you're still using dial up and paying more than $4.95/mo, you're paying too much.

No kidding. I had to suffer with dialup for 6 months when I moved because Adelphia was taking its sweet time with getting cable internet in my area.

They finally did (WOOT!!) and now I'm "surfin like a murfin".

Oh come on, it's not THAT bad.

Download big files overnight and you're fine. My only problem is those arrogant wankers who think that people need to see their digital camera pics in 1600x1200 glory :(

You do realise everytime you respond with something to my comment that I just *have* to say something to in reply, it takes like 5 minutes for the reply window to open, don't you? :|

Damn 14.4kbps, damn it to hell :(

Btw, fries, yeah.. :|
