any webmasters still doing this using a 56k modem ?
How many webmasters out there still design sites using a modem ? or has everyone gone highspeed cable or dsl ? Im curious to see what types of numbers show up for ppl still plugging away on dialup, trying to make a decent buck at this.

Cable modem all the way !! I'm amazed though, how so many of you don't have it in your area. I live way the hell up in Upper Michigan, NO, not the upper part of Lower Michigan, I'm up in the little chunk of land up above that, he he he.
The closest city to us is Green Bay, which is 4 hours away from here and I've had cable modem access for the last 2 years. Talk about a remote area with great technology, he he he. |

I was so glad when we got cable. I kind of lucked out and it came here early on for some reason, no idea why I live in sheep butt fucking no where New Hampshire. But I have gotten stuck on dialup on my laptop a few times lately, I really feel for you all

I was till July 2000 dialing with 28.8 kbps since 1996. Working as webmaster since 1997.
Now I have ADSL (256kbps). I work at home, but this or next month I'll be moving to a office, will be there most of my time, so I'll transfer the ADSL to there. We're just waiting the phone line to be instaled and buy the office furniture. So when I need to access from home next month, I'll be using my notebook with his 56.6 modem. |

I had Bellsouth DSL and it was really fast -- although their billing department is on crack. I had a lot of problems w/ their billing dept. Their employees are total morons.

I am still using a 14k modem
Its one of the reasons I stopped using TGP's - was taking me all day to load the quality images, got fed up with counting the flowers on the wallpaper. [This message has been edited by Susan (edited 05-19-2001).] |

No cable available out here in the sticks, but will be shifting to sat shortly. 56K sucks it big time.
