We have a dial-up connection in our home and I really hate how it performs, who wants it in the first place? I have been asking my mom to change it into broadband but she'd rather pick dial-up still... Too bad! Could anyone let me envy more???
Use it enough and she'll get annoyed you're always hogging the phone line and might give in. Plus broadband prices have dropped a lot recently.
I was stuck using a 3G service last week and that sucked, If i had to go back to a dial-up connection I think No in fact i don't want to think about it... Sorry for your troubles. Time for a mother upgrade..
Thats the funniest part..lol Actually, I am also using a EDGE DialUp connection at home. All I can say, yes, it sucks.
oh i remember the days when i was using dial-up... super duper slowness.. surfing online would take years..
Went to the internet cafe' in earlier days, which had ISDN connection. (That was about 7 years ago) Been using ADSL at home since it came out in my city. So, yeah! never experienced dial-up.
Well I used it 2 years ago but thanks to my ISP who lunched Brodband in just few days and I am surfing with amazing speed. Dail-Up connection are sucked.
I have been a dialup user up until last years May when we moved and I decided to get a broadbank connection 384kbps, not blazingly fast but still a heck of a lot better than dialup.
i used dailup a few years ago.. and i indeed know what you're going through... would take hours just to check emails...
I used dial up some 2 years back but now connected to the broadband which is at least 10 times faster than the dial up
Dial up can't be called an internet connection imo. I have been using all kind of connections from 28kbps to 100mbps and wouldn't go back to dial up. Too bad in some places it's the only option to get connected.
It probably costs you more with Dialup as each time you connect, you have to pay for a phone call as well! That might convince her to switch to broadband if you hammer in that point to her.
I've never personally experienced what a dial-up connection is but my friend lots of years ago had one as it was the only way to access the internet for ordinary people. Now the broadband connections are just too cheap to stay on dial-up.
Still on dial-up? That's too bad. I can't imagine going back to dial-up. Save some money and go get that dsl connection already. Why expect your mother to pay for it? She's not the one using it, is she?
