It would be interesting to learn what the ratio of Highspeed - Dial up users here at Simviation is.

ADSL Broadband via the phone line.

Paul...."Dial-up" was a long time ago... ...!

I agree, but we still keep hearing about it, so now this is the time & place to finally find out who's running, and who's crawling. 

ShaneG - Faster than a phone call.  8-)

How about those of us who pay for highspeed but only get 90kb/s 

I can remember the time when Dial-up was the only choice for me, (including the lower cost) and I can imagine that  the situation regarding availability, and cost, still exists with many Internet users.

I fondly? remember flying On-Line using my Dial-up connection... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif].... ....!

Paul.... 8-)...!

Dial-up?

This is what I had to use for my 56K Dial Up Internet connection.
Plugged into the PCI Socket and connected to the Telephone Line.....>>>>

I still miss the Dialling sound... .... ....!

Paul... ...!

I'm quite happy with my 12Mbps plan.

Plus powerboost.

DSL

I've got whatever the school has, probably broadband, getting 54 Mbps.

I really miss that comforting sound... .....

Like the sound of a 1/4 Inch Audio Tape transferring Data into my 1982 trusty Sinclair 48K Spectrum (Timex) Computer....

...happy days.... ...!

The Computer Data Transfer Rate was very similar to the speed of my Dial-up Internet connection, as I remember... It was a bit slow......!

Verizon Fiber-Optic service at the parent's house. (Really high-speed)

Not sure what we precisely have up here at Uni, other than the fact that it is "high-speed"...usually.

Broadband up to 20 Mbps. Not that I ever reach that but it's nice to know it can...

From my experience, calling a fax machine produces the very same sound
