Now I can steal MP3s, download porn, watch inane & offensive flash movies, and generally waste time up to 10x faster & more efficiently than with dial-up!
We had DSL for a year and a half and due to budgetary constraits we had to give it up. I found a free dial up service and used that for a couple months. WHAT A DRAG! I hardly did anything surfing wise on the computer..it just wasn't worth it. We finally got our financial act somewhat together and were able to get back on the high speed net with cable. Hopefully we will never have to go back to dial-up. I just wish these greedy corporations would loosen the prices a little.
From one bald guy to another- enjoy your high speed internet. I won't get DSL - maybe ever,because I live in a rural area. The irony is that I maintain the equipment-yesterday I worked 5 ADSL trouble tickets, oh well. and I really don't hate you for your good fortune-use it well.
I went from using Juno dial-up (not a bad company really, and it was only $10 a month back then), to Cox high-speed internet and I was just sitting there slackjawed for the first couple hours. As an online gamer I would just die if I had to go back to dialup.
And this is just slightly less cooler than sex. But not by much.
Alas, living in the town in which I live, you are forced to make comparisons between bandwidth and sex, since there the is a lot more of the former and very little of the latter.
We had cable years ago, then moved to an area with no cable or DSL, so we had to use dial-up. Going from broadband to dial-up is not a transition I would recommend. They finally finished stringing the cable out here so we are back on broadband. Whew!
