Dial up or broadband?

I have broadband and it's awesome, but I think my phone company is ripping me off. I'm paying for the 3mb/sec. line and I'm only getting 800kb/s down and about 2mb/s up and it stays near the 800kb/s most of the time. NorthEastern United States' VERIZON Co. YOUR COMPANY SUCKS ARSE; so yeah -nono

 

I cannot possibly IMAGINE anyone WANTING to remain on dial up if they can afford broadband...

So it's not quite a preference, it's more like "can you afford it" question.

And yes, I love my broadband dearly.

 

used to have dial-up back in the days...
now using broadband...decent speed with a decent price

 

apparently people still use dial up as here in washington state, peoplepc commercials are still running... but broadband is the bestest!!!

 

I have had dial up back in the days... around 96 I guess???

Then I switched to "broadband", was the first wave of DSL/ADSL home users...

 

changed to adsl only 2 years ago... before i was payin $25 a month for dial up!!!!!!!!!! :@

 

I think dial up is already consider old school, come on BE FAST WITH BROADBAND

 

I still cannot believe some people use dial-up. I've done some homework and found that the average dial-up user pays about $9-12 a month for dial-up. I pay $14 a month for broadband.

 

Dial-up is really practical for emergency and short interval.

Broadband if you can get it for a reasonable price at where you live. I know people
that uses satellite "broadband" for that is their only option at that location.

 

....try broadband and never look at dial up

 

I am using Cable. How do you change your IP address? I am sick of the megaupload download limit.

 

You can't. But I believe there's a way around to it... Hmm if u check in the technology section...

poor poor dial up... i used to use dial up before 2000... now i can't take dial up anymore......tooo slow><

 

alternatively, u could always get an acct with them
but i'm sure we're all cheap and unwilling to do that lol

 

I use rapget which enables to just copy the link and then leave my computer on and do the downloading automatically. It follows the same hr. limit except it bypasses the need to input password manually.

 

i'm using broadband nowww. i stopped using dial up like 6 years ago.
hehe

 

dial up is for light surfing(e.g. email),while broadband is for heavy surfing(e.g. downloading big files). when you have try broadband ,you wouldn't want to be on dial up ever again.

been surfing the net since 96' and the evolution of the net is amazing.
