well... I'm revving it at 28.8kbps.... BUT, i have unlimited time, so, if I wanna dl someat big, I just leave it all night.

Yes, broadband is only ?2 more expensive per month, but it has a 1gb limit. Still, it keeps things real. It just wouldn't be the internet if I didn't have to wait!

Once you get broadband you will wonder how you manged on a 56k modem !!.

.I have had broadband for years..i started of with IDSN which had 2 lines at 128Kbps (7.5 Kbs) which you could click a button to to use the other line and get combined total 15KBs !! which was way faster than your standard 28.8 K (3.5Kbs)modem... The only catch tho was the that you had to pay for 2 phone calls...eeeEEK!!..

Then i got Satelite Digital Broadband.. which was good when it worked but for most of the time it didnt ..

Then Blueyonder arrived in my area about 4 years ago :D ...512 Kbps or 60 Kbs...Fantastic...Then 1 Mbit (120kbs) then 2Mbit(240Kbs) and Now just last week they have upgraded my connection for free .To a whopping 4Mbit thats nearly 480 Kbs.. or put it like this 28meg video clip from Freakpyromainiacs takes about 1 minute to download

.....I downloaded A Digitized discovery episode called "Fireworks an Explosive history" about 400meg in about 15 mins :o ..You can download a full dvd in under 3 hours totaly amazing...You young un's just dont know how lucky you are with all this speed....

I'll never get broadband here. Never. Ever.

By the way, if I dont post for a few days that's because the carrier pigeon is ill.

How can anyone survive on a 56K?

The dial tone alone goes straight through you !

Let alone the slllloooooowwww download / upload rate and the horrible disconections, in the middle of the 2 hour download that was just about to become completed.

Once you catch on to broadband, i can tell you that you will wish you never had 56K in the first place :D

Oh, I want it, but can't get it. Out here we have only recently got electricity.

Sounds like broadband snobbery ;)
