    I’m getting so peeved with my dial-up ISP, the highest I get is 40Kbps and that’s why I’ve made up my mind to get satellite DSL….DDR

    I had dial-up for the first two years I've posted in this forum.... terrrribly frustrating.

    Fuck it. Uhhum.

    Now I have wireless broadband, which is still rather crappy.

    t3? or is that just what your network connection status says the connection is?
    this is mine:

    Ick, dial-up.
    We only just recently upgraded to high speed.
    It still amazes me.
    I could never go back to dial-up.

    Tell me about it. They say people PC is reliable, fast and cheap, well they're right about the cheap part, but as for reliable, i get kicked off constantly, and as for fast, not even close. I can't even watch video's on youtube all the way through the first time, i have to let it play through with it constantly stopping every 5 seconds, and once it's done that through the whole thing, i can finally go back and watch it without interruptions. It takes me 10 minutes to watch whats supposed to be a 3 minute video.

    But no, we can't get high speed, we much have the $10 a month dial up system. I hate it.
