I envy all those who have there internet through cable or dsl, The net becomes very limited and boreing running at 3kb a sec, pictures take about 10 minutes to load and Forget about watching any videos...
So dont forget how fortunite you high speed users are.
I kinda know what you mean. I have sattilite internet. It loads vids okay and pics but when it comes to downloading a file, its complete shit.
It will go like 8 to 10 kb/s and my internet with flick on and off which will cancel my download. :mad:
I was always that kid with dial-up but since coming to college I have really high speed internet wired into my room and wireless just about everywhere else so I can definitely appreciate it..
Stay high
I was just trying to download some pic's on here. And yes we are the unfortunate one's with the dial up. It said I had to contact the administrator because my edit had taken more than ten mins. But i guess i will trade the DSL. For clean mountain living, a medical card. and just living the good life with the Wife and the Bears and the cyotes.:stoned:
I had dial up for a while... but now that i bought 2 new top-o-line HP's i discovered that I happened to be lucky enough to live next door to someones wi-fi hotspot... Thank you friendly neighbor!
I used to have dial-up. We switched to cable broadband though about 3 or 4 years ago, so i know what dial-up is like. It sucks. But hey, its better than no internet at all right?
I remeber dial up. Man it sucked. It would take so long to load a page, and youtube was out of the question. That would take like a half hour to load a 2 minute video. :p
Me and my Opa were talking about this the other day. He remebers in like 1990, when the internet was first around, that to send an e-mail to the US, would cost a bloody fortune just because of the slow dial up connection and the long distance fees you had to pay. :p
Good times. I remeber that too, but now it is so fast. I click to go on a page, and within 10 seconds it's up. Cable is sweeeeet. :D
I look at it as one of the consequences of wanting to live in the sticks. Get an internet accelerator. It helps.
Amen.Quote:

Dial up? what is that? Do they still make it? Dial up belongs in a museum... dial up and DSL is like comparing reel to reel with an iPod lol... dial up lmao
I like reel to reel...iPod will be obsolete one day, too...will you still like it?Quote:

I don't like iPods... I have a pre-historic Creative Nomad the size of a small frying pan. It hold 10GB which is all the technology I want in my car alongside the cassette player. iPod and 8 track was just for comparison sake.Quote:
