Last view: 5130 days 		So... I finally got the internet, and as the thread states, it's dial-up. But ya know what? It's not as bad as I thought it was... It's WORSE!!! This is so damn horrible that I know I'll have nightmares about it tonight (lol) But seriously, I mean really?!?! A 32 MB video file (4 mins long) taking 8+ hours!!! That's just terrible! Ugh... anyone else stuck with a crappy 50.6 K connection?

Why the fuck did you go with dialup.

Oh yeah, sorry, dial-up sucks. Right.

We still used it at my house until about two weeks ago.

Doesn't really matter to me, since I'm a wireless leech anyway.

Last view: 5130 days 		I would, but i doubt the old people that live beside me have a wireless ISP lol. Or ANY ISP for that matter... Then again, if I had a laptop, I could always go to a hotspot like McDonalds or something. Hopefully I can get broadband soon and a laptop by the year's end (I got a job and start training Tuesday.) So, how is clearwire's connection/reliability and stuff?

Last view: 3224 days 		I'm so glad I have a cable internet connection, I remember the days of dial-up, it was a nightmare. Nobody could call you while you where on the internet, if someone in your family decided to pick up the phone you got disconnected... If someone called while on the internet you got disconnected.

I have been using Russian dial-up with ancient impulse-dial bipolar wires for the past two days since here, some 600km east of Moscow, there's nothing else anyway.

Current speed is around 0.4KB/s, as for the pings... well...

Last view: 6081 days 		As EP said, I've got 56K at home and at a worse speed than you.

26.4k.

Suck it up, it could be worse. I do plenty of things with my crap connection and I use it more often than most people use their DSL...which helps that I have it on all the time and use my phone line for something nothing more than that cause.

And the reason I have it when I could -more- than afford a DSL or cable connection? Location.
