it is a nightmare. My worst memory of the experience is the "CLICK" sound of your modem losing connection
I remember aol warez
I remember getting pinged/icmp and diconnected whenever you pissed someone off
i remember using netzero when it was free and ad based
I remember when sending ATH0++ disconnected your modem (typing it something in a post or in a chatroom would disconnect everyone)
i remember watching images load pixel by pixel, line by line
bad memories
have been on 12mb for a few years now
