anyone else have dial-up??

Hmm... I wonder if ours was hooked up through our direct tv, is there a way to tell? I'm guessing it wasn't since my mom was ranting about how much it cost to get the satellite deal on top of the house. It might be with Direct tv though, because we dont pay too much, and we have dt on 6 tvs, and internet on two computers

Call them and find out. Its a 800 number. As I said, sometimes they put up free installation deals. They offered dsl through the telephone company too, but quite frankly- it was the same price for the satellite, and we never loose it. And the kids tell us when they visit ours is so much faster than their dsl. To the point that my daughter had her satellite installed.

Also ask your IP (Internet Provider) if they offer an accelerator - basically a piece of software that helps make the dial-up download speed a little bit faster.

I've got dial up as well. It is SLOW!!! But I can't complain. At least I can keep in touch with my friends and post on PT. I guess I got a bit spoiled by the highspeed DSL I had when I lived with Mark.

I know what you mean. I've got cable internet but on my phone, it's like dialup. But it's so worth it! I love being able to see the real internet on my phone. Next year, I'm hoping to upgrade to the new Sidekick 3. I went to the TMobile store and looked at it. It's so nice! It's a lot lighter and the internet is faster, plus it's Blue Tooth enabled and also downloads MP3s. I want it badly.

We are still on dial up aswell here sadly, but it is better than nothing . Wheni finally get my new computer we will be going for cable/ broadband.
