    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.
    Peace, Love & Linux Forever !!!!

          In about two weeks from now I'll be moving and as a result getting back to 56k losing my cable connection.
          Once again do I wear my golden pilot shades and the gold chains.

            56k here until dsl is available
            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                It is hard to go back once you've gotten used to working with dedicated.

                      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 am on 56k and I hate it......... I was told when I moved here that cable would be here in March of 2001 and called them yesterday and they say now it will be early 2002.... I CANNOT go another freaking 7 months on dialup after working on Cable where I was........

                              They have dsl here now, it just got here a couple of weeks ago.... it's BellSouth's dsl...... anyone have any experiences with this?

                                56K here to....

                                I live in a rural area. And they dont offer cable net here. They do offer DSL, but for $200 for installation and $50 a month, FUCK THAT!!! lol

                                I'll wait until DSL costs less. Maybe next year.

                                  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 had to go back on to 56k for about 3 days.
                                    Please cablemodem god, never let that happen to me again.

                                      56k modem & I won't be switching for a while for several reasons (costs, reliability, etc). I am glad that I have a 17" monitor now

                                          I pay $50 for 256kbps ADSL. I found that the telecom company started to sell ADSL in my girlfriend city too, will try to install there. But there is $70 and $100 for the instalation.

                                                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.

                                                      Before that an 56k connecting at 28-36 thanks to telstra.

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

                                                          1mbit cable here for surfing.

                                                          Thats cool downloading with 128Kb/sec.

                                                          You'd beter try it overthere. not expensive here in holland
