SkinsFan#1 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think more people that more people than most of us think still have dialup, when you get out to the rural areas, it's often the only thing there because you have to go through phone lines to get internet.

terrifNick21 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 You guys are all on dial up compared to my internet speed.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/28/AR2007082801990.html Lol. I don't see how it's any faster than mine. I read that article, and the only way I can imagine it being that much faster than mine is if the next page you're going to automatically knows it's the one you're going to and pops up before you even think about it. lol.

helptheSKINS Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I like the commercial where the NetZero guy say's he could save the country something like 50 billion dollars if everyone simply used net zero. Can you imagine the problems with everyone on dial-up. Murder rates across the country would be up 10,000 percent. Heart attacks would be up 100,000 percent. We'd all go mad!

SkinnedAussie Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm still on dial-up, but only because broadband is too expensive for our budget. I did, however, get lucky and was able to upgrade from Ubuntu 6.04 to 8.04 online .......... it took all of 100 hours! The only problem I have on ES is when a thread is chockers full of photos .... I just don't bother opening it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 LOL dial-up, what is this the stone age? I'd smash my head into a wall if I ever had to use that horrid service ever again. We went from AOL High Speed DSL (600 kbps) to Verizon DSL (3 MBPS) to FIOS (5 MBPS). Never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
