My sister has dialup. She can't get broadband on her exchange, apparently.
It'd drive me mental.

Telecom need a good kick in the balls,if you ask me.

Just wondering, why renegade master is worrying about us slow-pokey-old-okey-dokeys?
I'm on 28.8kbps. I don't look at videos or big photos here on kb. I don't do you.tube.
I live in the provinces, I can't get broadband, and my business and personal use don't justify satellite linkys.
I guess that answers your question. It ia a cost vs benefit analysis in my case.

Dial-up here at home. I've never seen the need for what passes for broadband here.
If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

and then to 56.6kb yeeeehaaaarrrrrrrr.....I remember when we went from a 14.4k modem to 28.8k
Twice the speed!!
Whoohoo
I remember transferring game files with a mate.... fuck it took hours to do a 20mb transfer.... now thats under a minute....
has dial up ever got quicker to connect yet????
The Flying Dutchman
Nope, dial up stayed at 56.6 but they came out with some protocol, V81 or something which was supposed to increase transfer rates. Don't know how. 56.6 = 56.6 = damned slow.
Anyone remember the switch from green screens to colour? Now that was fancy. And then floppy's doubled in storage capacity from 720kb to a whopping 1.44Mb. Why would you need that much storage??
Better Red then Dead...
yip I can remember that.... also ram was $100 per mb and a 200mb hard drive was HUGE and people could not dream of filling one up.... haha how times have changed
