56k modems - GoFuckYourself.com

Busty · 02-01-2006, 11:22 AM

I just got back from vacation in South Africa and attempted to work on a 56k modem out there. I now have full respect for all my members on 56k modems, how they jerk off to a site is beyond me. When you download a video there is a good chance the connection will cut out in mid download, if you watch a video streamed for 56k its this small grainy screen, it just blows my mind.

I use webmail for my e-mails and the one service could not even open a screen if I hit reply and would keep logging me out if I tried to do anything in it. Frustrating as hell but it gave me an inside look on what needs to be done to give customers a better experience that are on a 56k modem.

Anyone else had some great 56k experiences?

I was on 56k at my house until about a year ago.

Then I got a wifi link from my office 10 mile away. I needed a 100' tower tho. Here are some pics. All this for high speed lol

Needless to say I get more work done from home that ever.

Brad Gosse · 02-01-2006, 12:58 PM

I think Brad if they put that tower up in South Africa it would get stolen.

haha you put up a fucking tower for internet. Great!

EroticySteve · 02-01-2006, 02:23 PM

Brad, that's a hell of a set-up.

mechanicvirus · 02-01-2006, 02:26 PM

OMG OMG OMG! We need that! We live in an area that doesn't have broadband... the cut off is a mile down the road and we SUFFER terribly with satellite. Where do you buy that tower? Any info would be awesome! That's great.

CrazyWhiteMan · 02-01-2006, 02:33 PM

yeah, 56k sucks bad

Where do you live that you need a setup like that?

blazi · 02-01-2006, 02:43 PM

I too have a wireless connection but I'm glad I didn't need a tower of that size to get a decent signal. Mine goes about 4-5 air miles I would say.

Quagmire · 02-01-2006, 03:52 PM

ka band satellite is much better than the old direcway shit. I use it since I'm out in the middle of bumblefuck, nowhere.

www.wildblue.com - USA
www.xplornet.com - Canada

Since I'm in Caledon, its hell to get a fucking permit to put up a tower. I have one stacked up ready for usage, but I can't get a permit. But honestly the ka-band isn't that bad. download speeds are good. I can VPN, I can use RDC and PCAnywhere, so its workable.

looking into that now.. we're using direcway and its awful.. they also have a very strict FAC that makes it very hard to do everything we need to

everestcash · 02-01-2006, 04:48 PM

again it proves some things aren't to be taken for granted, 56k users are a special bunch

HorseShit · 02-01-2006, 04:50 PM

that's a shot of my wireless antenna I took a few hours ago.. it was too cold out and the camera is new so I didn't mess with getting the flash to work but you get a general idea.

I contacted an antenna company that specialized in this kind of thing. The cost for everything including WIFI equipment was about $40k. We spent a ton on testing time which may or may not be an issue for you if you are on flat land.

I am in an area (Orangeville, Ontario) with lot's of hills (hence the need for tower)

reynold · 02-02-2006, 04:23 AM

We used dial-up in our house before. If I remember it right, connection was at 56k or maybe a little lower. After we have upgraded into a faster internet connection, we vowed never to return to 56k.
