Dial-up vs. Broadband

[Kirobaito]

Alright, for a class, I have to select a group of people and poll them on whether they have dial-up or broadband. This is for world geography. I don't know what this have to do with geography, but oh well.

And if you vote, please sign this thread. I'll make up REAL signatures later.

Who the hell would pick dial-up? Eww.

Broadband.

[Kirobaito]

I know. Ewww. But it's what I'm stuck with.

[Advent Child]

I use to have dial up at $8/mo. The service was great, if I didn't have DSL, I wouldn't mind it again.

But those who can't afford broadband, dial-up from Starpower is a great alternative. And Netzero's High Speed dial-up isn't bad either.

I shall never go back to dial-up. Even if my life depended on it.

[Kirobaito]

Broadband at its best is 6 times as fast as dial-up.

Well that doesn't mean anything to me because I can't compare them.

I can arrange that for you.

Recently got broadband. I swear ADSL is dear as poison over here. :o

[Meat Puppet]

Dial-up.






How can you give up those sweet bleeping noises as you excitedly wait to connect? With dial-up, you tend to treasure the loaded page more than you would with broadband, as you need to wait longer with dial-up.

Broadband, thank God. It's not only faster, it saves me about 200 euros a month, with the way I surf the Net sometimes...

Broadband. If I ever went back to AOL (the non-broadband AOL at least) I'd go mad.

Broadband. Satellite system thing.:)

[Loony BoB]

Broadband. I'm considering upgrading to 2mbps broadband, but I don't know if my computer can handle that anyway, so I probably won't.

Broadband. The speed is not my main concern.

[Iceglow]

at my g/f house we have a 2 eg line split between 4 comps and its brilliant still but I've used the whole 2 meg before on one comp and thats a 450mhz so :P

[Baloki]

Broadband, tis the power, meow, meow, meow.

It allows me to post the above junk 10 times faster then standard dial up (11.5 for us cos I rigged the line, hehehe).

[Garland]

Broadband, and never going back.

[Yrkoon]

[Jack]

Broudband might be faster, but i love the sound of Dial-Up.
All together now...

[Maxico]

Well its sooo hard to get broadband in england but hopefully I will be getting 1mb soon *crosses fingers* Now I can play call of duty without being occasionaly booted (although at a good connection time nobody seems to notice me).
