Anyone remember dial-up? :-)
 

Till today I forgot how fucking slow dail-up is. My cable connection is down today :( :(. I hand submited to 46 TGP's, took over 4 loooong hours, lol.


Later


Ps. Anyone notice TGP traffic is down this week?

i used dialup for 2 weeks while they transferred my dsl to my new place... it was the worst 2 weeks in my internet history

I'm still on dial-up! Just got access to cable in my neighborhood FINALLY! That's my next step for sure! :thumbsup

High Speed is for panzies, dialup is for real men

dial what?

Nope I was born with a RJ-45 input sorry

14.4 was the fastest when I was first online.

Paid 120 bucks for my 28.8 modem. Man that modem rocked....

Then the 56Ks came out, and then the V.90 upgrade... Ahh, that was so worth it.

i remember editing my registry and gaining .1-.2K/sec gains in download speeds on top of the V.90, thanks to some website i had found.

You can't really appreciate a broadband connection today unless you have felt the pleasure of upgrading from a 14.4 to a 28.8 back in the day...

85% of surfers are still on dial-up (and this industry should be thankful for that ;)

What is this dial-up modem you speak of?


JK. I remember my first. Oh she was a beaut. Supra 14.4. Sleek black body. She was good to me.

Remember black and white AOL... or maybe thats because my comp screen was black and white? LOL. dunno. Funny to think how far its come.

couldnt agree more!

I am still

Heh
this month my cable company decrease our speed to 64/16
and i am paying

50$/month for that fucking connection

I just had Roadrunner Cable installed. But I accidentally downloaded someone's stupid DIALER on my pc and forgot to delete it before the tech guy came to install it and I'm pretty sure he saw it and thinks I'm a pervert. It said "Nude Celebs and was in my start up menu. I'm soo embarassed :(

And I think he also saw some of my porn bookmarks. :( Has this ever happened to anyone else???

:1orglaugh

I didn't know he was going to look at my Bookmarks, I just cleaned up my desktop. But he did cuz he put the Roadrunner page in my favourites and as my startpage. He had another tech guy with him, and I know they were both laughing. I could hear them both saying something to each other :( I just pretended I didn't hear. I don't look like a pervert at all! I am SOOOO mortified I could DIE! :(

bah, who cares, you'll never see them again...




I was on BBSes at 1200bps... so yeah, I remember dialups...

i'd like to forget dial up

We were doing a photoshoot at Hailey's apartment ... and the DSL repairman stopped by.

He tried to stay focused - but can you blame the guy for being a little distracted?

I remember when it would take me 25 min's to transfer a 300k .exe.. I think that was at 1200 baud..

I was doing alot of online maint.

I used Remote2 ( a Crosstalk product ). My Puter would call there's and mine would hang up and there's would call me back ( there dime then)...

Same as pcAnyWhere does now...

And I alot of times I would have to set there and watch'em use the software... to find the bug or when it Bombed out..

And when 2400 baud modems came out I thought I was shitting in High Cotten...

I showed the guy my porn when he installed my cable modem..
And my pages.... he wrote'em down... Url's

I can honestly say I owe AOL or they unknowingly are owed THOUSANDS of dollars from the old days, those were some good days to get over on people.

I'm still on dial-up too : (

Lol Wish I could be that brave.... I'm a little scaredy cat...
Probably would cry if the tech dude actually said something to my face about it... lol
