Ok, I have gone back to dial up and I really think it's annoying. Here are a few examples why.

1. I can't play flash games.

I have 33.6...(I just checked) *sigh* *looks at other tab* *sees it's still loading*


That's around three kilobytes per second. I bet it'll take a good several hours of loading if you tried to play Sonny.

I love that sound! Who wants to listen to it. Heh, someone on Youtube said he'd like it to be his ringtone.

The last time I used dial-up was three years ago. Even at its fastest, it is still pretty slow. Before that, I used to use dial-up eight years ago. Couldn't afford broadband back then.

That's because you didn't live during those days.

You know I love that sound, but dial-up internet is painfully slow. The sound is probably the only thing I like about it now.

1 week...maybe less. It feels so weird when I get off the computer. Everything is in fast motion.

Oh hey! The first 10 seconds loaded.

Oh and when I heard the noise it was actually the first second of the video...

Welcome to the nineties, and the way we used internet back then.

i salute you for not shooting you computer already.


Only a fool would do that. A computer is still usable, without Internet.

Why do you have it? I don't even think computers that have dial up are use able.

You are wrong. You could use dial-up on new computers. They keep that for backward compatibility and it would be unfair to those who can't access anything faster.

Why do you have it?


Yeah, why?

Non-working internet does not mean non-working computer. Do you have a gun?
