I just answered a post that warned "dial-up" and I was wondering how many of us still have dial-up. I still do although it is supposedly the "accelerated" dial-up. This would be useful information when posting pictures.

I will admit we have had some problems with it because they gave us a bad modem, but soon as they sent us a new one we really havent had no problems and i just cant believe how fast it is
I also get my DSL through the phone company and love it! I'm spoiled now and don't think I could ever go back to dial up (unless I moved someplace where I didn't have a choice).
Comcast Cable Communications, no way I will mess up with DSL
We have cable because it was available 3 years ago. I think DSL is just now available. Since we haven't had any problems and the cable is good, I don't think we will switch. I know we don't want to go back to dial-up.
I have roadrunner high speed cable and I honestly don't think I could ever go back to dial up.
Wireless
Which is great when its great and horrible when its not

We have DSL. I used to have dial up and I could never go back to it! I have used dial up since I got DSL on other computers and it drove me nuts! We would like to have cable internet but they do not provide it where I live. And we are also hooked up to wireless, which is great for my laptop!
Still have dial-up unfortunately. John called the phone company about 2 months ago and ordered DSL... they said it would be 1-4 weeks because it wasn't available in our area and they'd have to update all of the boxes or something. But it's been a lot longer than their 4 week max... so I'm going to have him call this week again. Dial-up isn't really that awful, but my computer has a bad modem so I have to re-connect every 5 minutes or so, and the highest connection speed I usually get is 24.0 Kbps.
Cable (and unlike some others, I find it much faster than DSL, but then we have a higher speed package for cable also, not the regular kind)
We have cable internet too. But no cable TV. I spend more time on the internet anyway! After this, I think I'd go mad trying to do all I do on the Internet through a dial-up connection!
I go crazy at work with a slower DSL connection, let alone the thought of dial up!
Same here! The DSL at work makes me want to chuck the computers out the door sometimes!
Nothing else is available here in the woods and foothills of mountains. I can't have cable TV either. I do have satellite TV, but my SIL warned me against satellite internet. I hate dial-up and I would love to have something else. Pix take forever to load and videos are totally impossible.
Way back when I got my first computer, I had dial up. Then I got cable TV when my dad broke both his feet and moved in with me for 12 weeks (I'm not a TV watcher.) After he left, I added cable internet to the package and was really impressed with the speed. About 6 weeks ago, I added the phone package to the whole thing along with the faster cable internet service (amazing.) I just wish it was a different company than Charter.
