Cable, Dial up,Etc. What do you have?

**petslover** · 08-27-2005, 07:57 PM

Just wondering.. Is everyone on dial up or cable, etc.? I used to be on dial up a few years ago I don't know if I could go back or not. I am so used to cable being so fast now. I was just curious what everyone else is on.

Dial-up and it sucks immensly. Picture threads with large pictures will literally take an hour or more to load for me. So unfortunately I have to skip looking at many threads like that unless I have a lot of time on my hands.

We have DSL.We had dial up for a long time, I still cant get over the difference sometimes.

I have cable- hubby is a contract web developer and often does work form home so cable is a necessity.

I used to have dial up and it sucks so now I splurged and got cable. I'll never go back to dial up.

Being in the metropolitan Boston area has its advantages. We had cable, now we have FiOs - Fiber optic Internet. Even faster than cable, and so far extremely reliable.

Wow! I've never even heard of this. How does this work? Is it more expensive than cable?

I have Satellite internet access.
i guess thats called DSL?

we used to have dailup though. and was stuck with that for many a year. so those of you who ware stuck on dialup i feel your pain. thats why i also resize my pictures and try to post no more then 5 pictures a thread. but sometimes i go over my limit.

Dial-up, and as Amy said there are some threads I really can't look at at home because it takes so long to load, and even then will drop pictures. Maybe some day...

I still have dial up and because my boss pays for that, I'm sticking with it for the time being. Also I happen to like AOL's email system and would hate to have to pay for AOL in addition to cable.

lol amy! the way you said it..

well, I lurk/respond by my pager and I would say it's a little bit faster than dial-up! the regular dial-up computer would download the exact sizes of (small/large/or even larger) pictures while my pager automically shrinks/compresses all of the pictures into smaller resolutions that this screen can read. (thank god!)

(but.. amy/nebo's utah photos was the only thread that frozen up my pager and had to refreshen the page 4-5 times to get all of the photos..whew!)
