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, 06:38 PM

I got one if you need it

Spunky · 02-12-2004, 06:38 PM

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

Sly_RJ · 02-12-2004, 06:40 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, 06:42 PM

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

TweetyBird · 02-12-2004, 06:42 PM

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

hudson · 02-12-2004, 06:43 PM

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

Juicy D. Links · 02-12-2004, 06:43 PM

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

wyldblyss · 02-12-2004, 07:10 PM

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

Head · 02-12-2004, 07:17 PM

Sucks to be you!

AdultNex · 02-12-2004, 07:21 PM

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

integrated · 02-12-2004, 07:32 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, 07:42 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, 08:12 PM

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

Ic3m4nZ · 02-12-2004, 08:17 PM

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

myjah · 02-12-2004, 08:27 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

Bex · 02-13-2004, 07:54 AM

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

Stallion · 02-13-2004, 08:00 AM

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