I had dial-up for over 6 years.. only getting cable in the last year here

i know of some relatives that do, oddly enough they are both canadian, and thinl their age may play a part, meaning they are not up to date with broadband.

i use it as a redundancy, automatically dials up through an external modem connected to my router if adsl goes down!!

I've been on dial-up for the past 2 1/2 weeks only because I cancelled my home broadband when I went to uni. Ahhh to go from 20MB cable to 52kpbs dial-up...

I think I would shoot myself if I had to go dial-up. The pages on this forum load slow with a 1.5Mbps connection. I can't even fathom how long it would take with dial-up.

Lots of rural areas don't have many options, and satellite internet can be a major PITA. Luckily, there are long range wireless high-speed networks going up in lots of rural areas. DSL and Cable are reaching further into rural areas as well.


When we moved here 2 years ago, there was no high speed. Comcast laid the lines out here literally within weeks of us moving here, and I have NO idea why they came out this way (I'm fairly far out). Our phone lines couldn't sustain anything over 28k either, so it was absolutely miserable while I had to wait.

When at home from college I have a dialup connection. Cable and DSL both are not yet offered in the specific area my parents live in.

Here's my modem for dial up.

Well im not on dial up but after me and my sis have shared the 2gb dowload limit i only have 1gb, and it goes quick. Near the end of the month, some months, i dont have much left, andit is nice to know not to load a certain thread cos its got 5mb of pictures. 10 threads like that and ive used 50mb!

Long time since I were on Dial-up!
At least back to early 2000, if not 1999...
