Does anyone still have dial-up?

[Hessah]

hmm the postage meter at work still use a dial up connection...

each time i turn that modem on to connect and transfer credit... that noise brings back memory........ ahhhh...... bad memory LOL!!

so.. yes we do use dialup.. but not for the internet...

they still have those dial up commercials on tv so i guess they do. a family that doesn't use the internet much if at all would have dialup

I have dial-up because I live in a very rural area. Fiesta runs just fine on it. There are plans in the works for DSL in our area in the next few months, and I might switch over. So, there is nothing "wrong" with people who have dial-up. You can kindly go fuck yourself.

Edit: Now that kirby has edited the first post, I look like even more of a jackass than normal.

My connections sometimes fluctuates between 2MB/s and 256kb dial-up speed...


It stops altogether when someone across the hallway uses a microwave....


I'd almost prefer a land-line dial-up connection rather than this indecisive sham of a connection.

I teach at a small private college that caters to some of our more socio-economically challenged, and many of them do not have Internet, or only have dial-up. They do things like leech off a neighbors wireless, go to the public library, go to a place with free wireless hotspots (like Panera Bread), or come down town and mooch off the business' free wifi (provided as a public service, so i guess its not mooching)

uhm...besides that I think my grandmother had wireless
