i am on my home computer...still waiting to switch to cable....hopefully the parents will do it soon
i wouldnt even get online if i was dailin up
Me either, We were the first ones in our area with cable modem. Hell the tech that came out didn't even know how to hook it up. I remember me and my dad showing him things. Man that was awhile ago I couldn't do dial up for anything now. My buddy around the corner has dial up and he always calls me to look up things for him.

I am on dial-up and most of these pictures aren't that bad for me. Some of you guys that cry about "I wouldn't get on if I had dial-up", you might not remember, but cable access is not cheap. Some of us don't make a lot of money to afford those luxuries. So you go with what you can. Later, QD.

I have HIGH SPEED 29.99 a month.. fast as shit. Best conection I have ever had.
I would not pay 10 bucks for dial up.. Some people are paying even up to like 20 bucks thats crazy.

This has been the best service I have had... Bellsouth DSL and charter suck compare to this service. Has neve gone DOWN in 8 month of having this service..

This is very true, however if 20 bucks a month mattered to me in the slightest, i wouldn't eat out as often as i do or drive around for no reason or do alot of other things that are just a few bucks here and there. my point is if my life and family were not going to make it that month because of 20 bucks the last thing on my mind would be high speed internet. as far as that goes i wouldnt need internet at all because i would sell my computer to put us in a better place.
high speed internet is just one of those luxuries that comes on down the line after the basics.

it wasnt that bad... dial in, log onto napster, click 5-6 songs, go to sleep click some more in the morning goto work, repeat till you were done lol.

I do none of that. I don't eat out at all. Well, not often. I haven't eaten at a place like Applebee's in prolly over a year. I do pay $9/month for my dial-up. It's tied in to my phone which is $20/month. SO $30/month phone an Internet is still cheaper than most people's ragular phone service. I'm cool when I keep it to the basics. Hell, dial up is really not that bad. I am going to check out the link Julio posted up. Later, QD.

I understand man and belive me im not trying to give you shit about your life or how you live it. I dont't know how your family is structured in terms of who works and what not but i can say this, you little girl seems to be happy and healthy when i have seen her, be in in person or in pictures.. and that says alot. maybe in your life another 20 bucks a month for high speed internet is just to much to spend, maybe you are one of the people that honestly just doesn't give a shit about being part of the world wide wait :)
