my modem at my dads doesnt make those cool phone noises.

 

Yeah, plus you get to experience the joy of waiting almost 10 minutes to connect to the internet... THAT RUNS AT 56K! Whoo!

 

Yeah, we ripped the speaker off of our modem back when we used to have dial-up.

 

I did...just...with pliers.

 

broadband ftw!

can't you get dialup for free? i remember using that before cable became popular

 

its 8AUD fro my dads dialup. my dads uses broadband at work and he forgot how slow dialup is. i think hes contemplating getting broadband

 

broadband spoiled me so bad, i doubt i can ever go back 700k vs 5k. although back when i had dialup i used to download huge files, IE linux cds. took few days with internet constantly running also when you use dialup so much, you get a feel for when the company recycles connections, they boot you off once or twice a day at a specific time it seemed.

oh i use my laptop with my mobile phone's internet but thats faster then dialup. but if dialup is all you have then use it i guess.

if you own a DS, or Laptop with wifi connections try searching around for a open networks, my brother gets free internet this way at home, person didnt even set admin password let alone wep.

 

I have a 1.5mb line for $12/month

 

So I see nobody jumped on the Google ISP deal?

I dont even have a home phone. Cable internet FTW =)
