Is anyone still on Dial UP?
 
Or does everyone have DSL or Cable network at home?
Does dial up still Exsist. ( Excuse my spelling, took my sleeping pill about 15 minutes ago so I'm not all here.)

Damn, I still remember those 14.4 modems when I used to dial out on my 386 computer with 4 Mega rams. :ak47:

Jeff aka NIGHTfall 06-03-2004 12:17 AM

i actually know of only 1 webmaster here who has dialup.. but thats not for me to say who

Semi-Retired-Dave 06-03-2004 12:27 AM

I am on a pretty fast DSL at home, but I am so spoiled at the office, we have 3 T3's and I don't know how people can do it.

Of course it still exists.. and more people use dialup then broadband still. :2 cents:

Firehorse 06-03-2004 07:59 AM

I haven't used dial-up for years, I could never go back! :Graucho

fris 06-03-2004 07:59 AM

:(

fucking_remco 06-03-2004 08:00 AM

dsl over here, but just the last 6 months, wasn't available over here till 6 months ago lol

jhauser 06-03-2004 08:01 AM

I couldnt imagine dial up. I would totally be sad.

Ross 06-03-2004 08:03 AM

I got cable broadband :)

ADL_Christy 06-03-2004 08:08 AM

We have DSL at home. But I am looking to go to my father's house at the end of June and I'm taking my laptop...and he only has dial up. I am not looking forward to it, but gotta be able to check on things. And he lives so far out that there aren't any hotels with highspeed around. Its gonna suck!

Jedimaster 06-03-2004 08:09 AM

I just upgraded from 14.4k to 28k:Graucho

Dial Up for webmasters?? Maybe in Turkey or Iraq

misty_dayz 06-03-2004 08:12 AM

i'm on cable, but i do know some webmasters are still on dial-up..cable and dsl are still not available in all areas and some webmasters live in rural communities and just don't have the high speed option available to them

cspdinc 06-03-2004 08:14 AM

after leaving LA I find almost EVERYONE rural or small town uses dialup 100% of the time. Hence I use it for reviewing sites to see if the load times are bearable. AOL is huge for a reason....

(and yes its tough after a T3)

there is some shit assed DSL service where I'm at now , the wireless network in boston is 150 percent faster than that is in washington st area (outside portland/ seattle)

jacked 06-03-2004 08:19 AM

thank god for Optimum Online sickest @home cable service i've ever used no down time and my download speeds are that of a t1 about 1.5 mpbs my upload is shit 125 kbps lifes good lol

ozmatt 06-03-2004 08:22 AM

i got dialup at one of the offices and i dont mind it actually, like kevin said, it stops me from doing too much surfing and downloading music etc. i dont browse the boards as much cause it takes too long, therefore i get more work done! :)

Axeman 06-03-2004 08:28 AM

only on the road if I cant get high speed

Shooter 06-03-2004 08:30 AM

God no, can't imagine being on dial up still

StRoGE 06-03-2004 08:46 AM

I have DSL, but I also have a dialup account still those "emergency" times ;)

I use dial up both at home and at my summer house. This help help me from becoming a net junkie.

Gheenz 06-03-2004 09:01 PM

I was on DSL, but now I'm back on dial-up :(

abyss_al 06-03-2004 09:10 PM

majority of webmasters and browsers are still on dialup... they always prefer fast loading aff sites, and stats...

look at stats on bottom right bar, you'll see

Spunky 06-03-2004 09:11 PM

Both DSL 2.5 and dialup...cause DSL sometimes goes down

Vitasoy 06-03-2004 09:16 PM

Being on dial up is like torture.

Webby 06-03-2004 09:41 PM

Hell.. I got dialup - a couple of em!! :winkwink:

Can't say I used them yet - but that blind faith in any connection is troubling :-)

What happened to backup when the cable gets screwed??? :glugglug

Paul Markham 06-03-2004 11:21 PM

Jer 06-04-2004 03:58 AM

2000-2003: ADSL 256kbps
