**Jeff aka NIGHTfall** · 06-02-2004, 11:17 PM

**Semi-Retired-Dave** · 06-02-2004, 11:27 PM

I am on a pretty fast DSL at home, but I am so spoiled at the office, we have 3 T3's and I don't know how people can do it.

Does dial up still Exsist. ( Excuse my spelling, took my sleeping pill about 15 minutes ago so I'm not all here.)

Damn, I still remember those 14.4 modems when I used to dial out on my 386 computer with 4 Mega rams.

Of course it still exists.. and more people use dialup then broadband still.

**Firehorse** · 06-03-2004, 06:59 AM

I haven't used dial-up for years, I could never go back!

**fris** · 06-03-2004, 06:59 AM

if i was on dialup again. i dont know what i would do.

**fucking_remco** · 06-03-2004, 07:00 AM

dsl over here, but just the last 6 months, wasn't available over here till 6 months ago lol

**jhauser** · 06-03-2004, 07:01 AM

I couldnt imagine dial up. I would totally be sad.

**Ross** · 06-03-2004, 07:03 AM

I got cable broadband

**ADL_Christy** · 06-03-2004, 07:08 AM

We have DSL at home. But I am looking to go to my father's house at the end of June and I'm taking my laptop...and he only has dial up. I am not looking forward to it, but gotta be able to check on things. And he lives so far out that there aren't any hotels with highspeed around. Its gonna suck!

**Jedimaster** · 06-03-2004, 07:09 AM

I just upgraded from 14.4k to 28k

**sexsup** · 06-03-2004, 07:11 AM

Dial Up for webmasters?? Maybe in Turkey or Iraq

**misty_dayz** · 06-03-2004, 07:12 AM

i'm on cable, but i do know some webmasters are still on dial-up..cable and dsl are still not available in all areas and some webmasters live in rural communities and just don't have the high speed option available to them

**cspdinc** · 06-03-2004, 07:14 AM

after leaving LA I find almost EVERYONE rural or small town uses dialup 100% of the time. Hence I use it for reviewing sites to see if the load times are bearable. AOL is huge for a reason....

(and yes its tough after a T3)

there is some shit assed DSL service where I'm at now , the wireless network in boston is 150 percent faster than that is in washington st area (outside portland/ seattle)

**jacked** · 06-03-2004, 07:19 AM

thank god for Optimum Online sickest @home cable service i've ever used no down time and my download speeds are that of a t1 about 1.5 mpbs my upload is shit 125 kbps lifes good lol

**ozmatt** · 06-03-2004, 07:22 AM

i got dialup at one of the offices and i dont mind it actually, like kevin said, it stops me from doing too much surfing and downloading music etc. i dont browse the boards as much cause it takes too long, therefore i get more work done!

**Axeman** · 06-03-2004, 07:28 AM

only on the road if I cant get high speed

**Shooter** · 06-03-2004, 07:30 AM

God no, can't imagine being on dial up still

**StRoGE** · 06-03-2004, 07:46 AM

I have DSL, but I also have a dialup account still those "emergency" times ;)

I use dial up both at home and at my summer house. This help help me from becoming a net junkie.

**Gheenz** · 06-03-2004, 08:01 PM

I was on DSL, but now I'm back on dial-up

**abyss_al** · 06-03-2004, 08:10 PM

majority of webmasters and browsers are still on dialup... they always prefer fast loading aff sites, and stats...

look at stats on bottom right bar, you'll see

**Spunky** · 06-03-2004, 08:11 PM

Both DSL 2.5 and dialup...cause DSL sometimes goes down

**Vitasoy** · 06-03-2004, 08:16 PM

Being on dial up is like torture.

**Webby** · 06-03-2004, 08:41 PM

Hell.. I got dialup - a couple of em!!

Can't say I used them yet - but that blind faith in any connection is troubling :-)

What happened to backup when the cable gets screwed???

**Paul Markham** · 06-03-2004, 10:21 PM

We got the office upgraded to 1 meg a second yeaterday, awesome speed.

**Jer** · 06-04-2004, 02:58 AM

1996-2000: 28k dial-up
2000-2003: ADSL 256kbps
2003-2004: I have no idea what kind of connection I have, but it's 256kbps.

They call "broadband" 256kbps here.
