56K-dial up
 
Anyone still using them, or am i the only one???

cchris 08-30-2003 04:29 AM

Yep.

As someone once said.

It's like suckin a lake up through a straw.

Fremen 08-30-2003 04:30 AM

I still use it, abuse it, and accuse it. ;)

Hmm, that's a double entendre if I ever heard one. lol

I hate 56k, but it's my only option for now. :(

Had it, Got rid of it...Moved then had it again...Moved again and now I got High Speed back.

it's really bad when you have High Speed and have to switch back to dial up cause high Speed is not Available where you are living.

But I am happy now, No more Dial Up.

Oh yeah, i still have a 56k, and damn i hate it. I wish i had a cable modem but it's just too expensive for me PLUS i'm not even sure if i can get one considering where i live. *crys* . . . maybe someday i'll be able to get one.

bernadette 08-30-2003 08:57 AM

i always forget just how utterly slow a dial-up is until i have to use a computer at a friend's home who has no fast connection.

*hugs broadband modem*

I have a 56k modem, but the phone line only lets me connect at 28k =( Sometimes I get better speeds than that, but rarely though.

CSflim 08-30-2003 11:35 AM

I live in Ireland. nuff said.

I couldn't imagine going back to dial-up. It'd be like driving a BMW, then having to rent a Yugo while the BMW's in the shop.

krwlz 08-30-2003 04:37 PM

I spossedly have a 56k connection...but when you get the details from the two little green comp looking things next to you're clock....it tells me that in reality Im conected at 26,400 bps....fuckin dirty phone lines.

YzermanS19 08-30-2003 06:02 PM

56k at home, t3 at school. Cant complain, I'm at school more than I'm at home ;)

vermin 08-30-2003 06:43 PM

56k but it usually connects at around 44k at home (weekends). Down at my cousin's (week days) it's a lot slower.

bundy 08-30-2003 11:49 PM

YAY for dial-up!!

cos we get all of those BEWARE DIAL-UPS warnings!!

crackpot 08-30-2003 11:51 PM

56k for sure here, I love to hate it.
I'd move up to bigger & better, but I don't think it'd make a diff on this 133 mhz monster of mine. :crazy:

was at my parent's place last weekend and had a blazing 48-50kbps or less to work with. Real bloody painful after my 768k download and *slow* 128k upload at my place.

used to have a one way satelite connection (modem upload, broadband DL with slight latency), and it has been somewhere around 2-3 years since I used dialup exclusively I believe.

World's King 08-31-2003 01:20 AM

FUCK THE PHONE LINES

I use dial-up when my broadband shits out... which is at leats once a day.

Sleepyjack 08-31-2003 02:40 AM

i connect at around 28-34kbps as well. It has somthing to do with pair gain or something. The phone lines are fucked near my house :(

hawkeye 08-31-2003 10:50 AM

I have High Speed at school, but when I go home for the summer I'm stuck with Dial-Up (max speed 41kbps
