well unfortunately where i live dial up is the only option. there is no cable service here and way too far out for dsl. the only psuedo option is satellite which is damned expensive ( $600 in equipment cost and $60 a month) anybody else still have to deal with dial up?

I know realize how much of my life that I wasted waiting for pictures to pop up with dial up. We don't have any cable option where I live but luckily we had the option of wireless internet

Hold on...what? You have to have either cable, dsl or or satilite to support a WiFi system. Unless your town set up huge WiFi broadcasters and pays your connection fees...some town in ohio did it so i dunno.

i have road runner and i love it, my computer is pretty fast, except for the fact that i just downloaded limewire, so it's running alittle bit slower now. But now when i use a dial up computer i just wanna throw it out the window, because i am impatient.

I still have dial up, but I have 3 months until I get better stuff at college. But it's so slow. it took me 2 hours to download the shanghai six teaser.

encourage your neighbors to get wireless or something. Now, I don't have to deal with dial up at my house. Also, do not get the satillite thing. it sucks. It takes at least 6 seconds for every new page to load cause the satellite is so far away.
