**CyberTraffic** · 02-12-2004, 04:38 PM

I am really, truly sorry to hear that, man. I love my broadband.

You'll prolly be reading this in about 10 minutes; after the page loads.

**Juicy D. Links** · 02-12-2004, 04:38 PM

I got one if you need it

**Spunky** · 02-12-2004, 04:38 PM

I wondered how I survived without DSL..dial up sucks

**Sly_RJ** · 02-12-2004, 04:40 PM

Forget the cable company. Go to Best Buy and buy a new modem. They're $50 after rebate. You'll be back online tonight.

**JDog** · 02-12-2004, 04:42 PM

Yea 56k, sucks balls, I use it when ever I go outta town

**TweetyBird** · 02-12-2004, 04:42 PM

I used to be on dial up too.... I know what you are going through

**hudson** · 02-12-2004, 04:43 PM

hehe...welcome to the internet ghetto...ever tried downloading photoshop on a 56k line ;-)

**Juicy D. Links** · 02-12-2004, 04:43 PM

Dial up was better than the "high speed" at the Venetain

**wyldblyss** · 02-12-2004, 05:10 PM

I'm thinking some people here are too young to remember 56K

**Head** · 02-12-2004, 05:17 PM

Sucks to be you!

**AdultNex** · 02-12-2004, 05:21 PM

I can remember carrier pigeons - mail was okay (if a bit slow), but sending attachements was a bitch...

**integrated** · 02-12-2004, 05:32 PM

im still in a 14.4 modem

its not worth the money to get broadband

im used to the speed it not that bad

**stevecore** · 02-12-2004, 05:42 PM

I'll give Adelphia credit... in 3 or so years of using them i only experience 7 days total of down time. Not bad.

Just moved over towards Encino and TIME WARNER ROCKS!! Not just their RoadRunner service but Cable TV as well.

**bdld** · 02-12-2004, 06:12 PM

56k seems so much slower after experiencing cable/dsl..

**Ic3m4nZ** · 02-12-2004, 06:17 PM

I tried downloading ICQ on a 56k it took more than 2 hours... really sucks

**myjah** · 02-12-2004, 06:27 PM

that blows. don't know what i'd do without my cable modem. when i talk to people who don't use it i can't stress to them enough how important it is to get it...you can save years of your life that you would have spent waiting

**tony286** · 02-12-2004, 06:30 PM

shut off images in explorer speeds things up alittel

**VeriSexy** · 02-13-2004, 02:16 AM

Dialup is the devil

**jennycards** · 02-13-2004, 02:18 AM

I got a bigger one: 2 Mbit Up- and Download

**flashfire** · 02-13-2004, 02:33 AM

**WankTank** · 02-13-2004, 05:49 AM

56k sucks, im on it right now.

**Bex** · 02-13-2004, 05:54 AM

After being on cable, 56K is very hard to take! My condolences!

**Stallion** · 02-13-2004, 06:00 AM

That's why I have a backup. My main connection is cable and have DSL as a backup.

56k blows bigtime.
