Why i hate dial up so FVCKING much

[csyberblue]

because of where I live, in a rural area, cable or dsl broadband isn't an option for me. I went from having broadband where I used to live, to then moving and going to dialup. However we found out about a satellite broadband, and it's been pretty good. I download at speeds of around 50-100kb/s. I can't play games, because the data has to go up into the air on the satellite and then back down, so my pings are normally 3 or 4 times higher than with dialup. And it costs 100 bucks a month for the first year, then I think $50 a month after that. Webpages normally take another 5 seconds or so more to load than with dialup. And if you download stuff during regular hours (like 9am-9pm), after a certain amount you download, you'll get bandwith limited, and then it gets so bad even webpages won't load, and you gotta wait an hour or so until they take the limit off. It's not the greatest thing in the world, but if you want faster download speeds, this may be an option for you.

I thought of you when I saw this thread. Posting all those pics at 24k. Geeze, what agony.

I thought I had it bad. 31.2 Kbps using v.34 (33.6) is the only speed I connect with. The v.90 lines have DNS problems, so I can't use them. The only time I disconnect is while replying on ATOT. I think it's my crappy winmodem.

3.The number is always engaged
4.it kicks you off
5.when it does kick you off it take 20 attempts to log on, sometimes even a restart
6. By the time it refreshes the webpage its already stale
7.Its barely cheaper than Broadband
8.People take the pss
9.Cant play games online, lags to high
10. Cant download XP SP1 because its too big, so i had to buy it on CD

Why I Dont Have Broadband
1. Coz BT are to fat and fvcking idle to install it in the exchange

Why I dont have a decent speed
1.Because BT are to fat and idle to give us decent wires

How many times connection was dropped while typing this post = Twice
How many reconnect attempts for each line drop = 20+
Annoyance Factor = Unscalable

Had to get that off my chest, thanks
