Broadband? Quick poll - Page 4 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

kaneda · 29th July 2005, 02:18 AM

I do love my broadband. It batters dial up. It batters aol! Funny thing is though my brother hasn't got round to cancelling the aol dial up yet, so i have both dial up and broadband. spoilt for choice me

Okay. Am I really the only one who still has dial-up? Or am I the only one who is willing to admit it in the poll? Although, I wish the question had read, "Dial-up is good enough for my pocketbook". I'd love to have broadband, but I just can't afford it right now. So I guess dial-up has to be good enough for me.

Now, I'll go actually read the thread and see if anyone else has admitted to being a dial-up customer.

It must be a California thing, Littlemiss... I have dialup... but I only complain about it, not even going to brag... one reason why I didn't mark Brian's poll. It's my protest to not having broadband!!!!

I don't download music, I don't download films - in fact don't download much of anything at all. I use the net mainly as an info-gathering resource so I'm still on dial-up. I'm also naturally suspicious and the fact that I am incessantly pestered by sales folk to move to Broadband makes me say no just to annoy them

But how much are you paying for dial up foxbat? I think its outrageous that dial up is still at the £15 mark in this country when you can get broadband for a bit more and its so much better.

I'm on dial-up and I love it! It's fantastic! Those long download times are just what you need for a bit of introspective thinking: 'Hmmm. I wonder how long it would take to download if I threw it off the back verandah?'

I'm abstaining from voting as well, but's dial-up for me, if you hadn't guessed.

I'm now on broadand ADSL and having been a long suffering user of a 56K Dial up modem there's no comparison LOL!!!!..

I agree with many that having a continous connection is great and having a faster link means I can keep up my Post Wars with The Master...
