Who is still on dial up?

[Slacker]

Post why you still use dialup if you want to.

 

[deftron]

Are you talking land line vs. voip ?


I use a cell

 

[Slacker]

yeah, landline.

What speed is your cell connection?

Wait, you mean cell phone right? not like a jack on the wall of your cell... right?

 

[deftron]

Sometimes it's take a second to connect after dialing,

but there's never a delay talking in conversation

Not only am I on dialup, I am on a dialup speed that varies from 19.2 to 21.6. :| Just before moving here, we had a T-1 line. :|:|

Haven't had dial up since 1999.

Reached the promised land in early 2003, havn't left since.

I've just been haunted by the modem sounds. Took me like, three years before I found out that you could turn them off. I'm not going to sleep tonight.

<3 Cable.

Finally, after 8+ years of Dial-up at home, I just got my DSL working!
Always suffererd through crappy phone lines and being so far out of town, the connections were always terrible.
When I am at my apartment at work, I still use Dial-up, but with a consistant 49K-52K connection, its not too bad.
DSL at my jobsite also, I try to stay late and do my major surfing and downloading there, and use the dial-up in the evenings, mostly for ATOT & other less bandwidth sites.

My family was the first in Arizona to have a cable modem through Cox's beta testing program. Never went back to dialup

I remember playing Starcraft and people telling me that 56k was the best connection possible, and then DSL. Poor pathetic fools

Broadband

 

[ForumMaster]

after we left fvcking dialup when we left america, we got broadband here in israel. i don't think that there is even dialup available in israel. broadband is so cheap that it's amazing. we pay $8 for a 1.5Mbps line.

Freakin phone company... before we bought this house, we checked the phone numbers... DSL available.
Well, after a phone call, "oh, what we meant is DSL will be available soon"
Too far from town for cable...
Phone lines suck; I've never connected above 32 on dial-up. (Which irritates me even more, since I ditched the old 33.3 modem I had laying around and purchased a new modem)
And, it's been over a year since they said DSL would be available soon... friggin phone company.

Direcway? Forget it.. I'm not paying $100 a month for what is only slightly faster than dial-up.
