Internet Connections

Lol, I want DSL so bad, stupid dial-up is so slow, and sometimes when I am submerged with something online and my mother has to use the phone, it becomes so irritating -_-. But hopefully when we get DSL she won't bug me anymore about being online :P

That's why I love having DSL compared to dial-up. It's not slow and I can talk to my friend online and on the phone at the same time! I actually used to do that too! It was fun. Butwe have 2 phone lines anyway (one for my grandmother and one for my parents) so tying up the phones completey wasn't an issue...

I just got cable, I practacly begged my parents for it (he he he) It rocks! I feel sorry for all who had dial up, it totally sucks! Here, I'll share my internet with you all (runs over to everyones house and installs internet) there you go!

Heh, that's the main issue with why we're getting DSL, my mom is always talking to some person or other, and it can get annoying when I'm talking to people online. Also, the speed of DSL and downloading is nothing to look down upon either,

I thought it was funny when comcast compared internet to animals. Dial up was a tortise, DSL was a dog, and Cable was a Cheetah (or really comcast) I think DSL might be the best because it is not as expensive as cable but is still faster than dial-up.

The upstream might be a bit iffy though. Probably won?t matter for you. ^_^; I?ve never had DSL, only AOL (uck, bleah) and then this cable.

I can't remember what it was like before we got DSL... it was a long while ago. Originally we had AOL too but my dad hated that so much we switched to dial-up as soon as we could. All I remember about dial-up was that it took forever to connect... when it would connect that is. That was a pain! We've had our fair share of problems with DSL though too... but lately it's worked fine!

As I've complained about ten million times, I still have dialup. I've been wanting broadband for years - there are only 3 cable ISPs in Australia, and they are pretty expensive, so I've been looking at ADSL. I found a decent plan - AU$60/month, 512/128k, unlimited downloads - but they are a new ISP, so Mum refused to get it because they had a couple of hiccups when they were first setting up the server. Even though the feedback for them is now *really* good. *glares @ Mum*

I'm currently on Dial-up, and am with Southwest Internet Systems. They have been very reliable, and with smooth speeds. I usually connect at a speed of 50.6 kbps, which results in 4/5 kb/s for downloads, of course many factors have to be taken in place.

When my subscription expires though, we may be moving onto Broadband/ADSL...
