highspeed! really love it, although it's sometimes slow, at least it's better than dial - up, heck I still remember the good 'ol noise it makes while connecting.
I hate that noise it sounds like all life is dying from the earth.

Highspeed. When I had dialup I used to bring a book with me to the computer to read while I was waiting for online games to load. xD

Unlimited broadband, yay. I used to have dial-up a few years ago, I hated it so much.

I haven't had dial-up for nearly six years. My family upgraded when I got my first computer back in late summer of 2004.

It was quite a pain, but it's a lot harder to get addicted to the internet when it's taking up your phone line and keeps on getting disconnected, so there is some good to it.

I have Highspeed Internet, I really hate Dial - up it is such a slow-poke, sheesh. I mean, come on! But that is all some people can afford. At least you have internet correct, no? Some people don't even HAVE internet so we can't really complain can we.

I have anything faster than a Dial-up. The one I have is a wireless broadband, and that falls in the high speed category.

I remember having Dial-up back in 2000. It was sooo slow... At least I'm satisfied with what I have now, but dial up never satisfied me and only left me with annoyance and pain.
Dial-up also doesn't let you use a lot of services and a lot of features that broadband high speed internet lets you use, so it's sad to me if some people are still forced to use Dial-up in order to have internet connection, specially for the costs.
I advice everyone to upgrade to the high speed broadband or better if they can afford it with ease, since that would make the whole internet a little bit better.

Neither; although I do have broadband.
Isn't broadband just another way of saying high speed or am i just stupid?
Maybe both.

Broadband generally offers speeds higher than 50kbps, which is an average for any dial-up connection, I had a lot of trouble loading many pages when I had dial-up around...six years ago.

Now I have broadband that offers up to 20Mb, though I'll soon be converting to a connection that offers up to 24Mb.
