    Default OMG I hate Dial-Up!!!

    I forgot just how totally horrible and disgusting dial-up internet access is!

    I've ordered Freedom2Surf internet, am hoping I can get it here, initial website check seemed to think I could get 5mbps.

    So until then I'm using a 56k modem to dial-up. no massive picture please guys

    yeah, me too.. I finally got my broadband connected last week.

    Eclipse was the quickest setup/activation Ive ever had on a broadband order!! Ordered at 4:30pm on the thursday, It was confirmed/accepted on the friday and it was set up and connected at the full 8mb at 9:25am monday morning!

    1 working day! Which I thought was amazing. I havent really had a chance to use it enough to really tell you what the different packages are like yet, but it seems pretty good so far..

    Yep being on dial up is not good. I have been on it since my first PC back in the windows 98 days, and only recently i have been connected on BB. And i tell you all now i would not go back to the slow bus lanes of dial up, lol

    I remember I used to use Bulletin Boards years and years ago.. it was slow and not very fun. And the service I was with, if you actually managed to find one with someone else on it, it made the terminal window crash and boot you off!!

    That was before I moved to Compuserve dialup for about 2 or 3 years.. cant remember what happened after that!

    With a bit of luck I *should* have ADSL again on Friday.

    Got an e-mail from F2S to say I'm scheduled for a Friday connection. Funny how they can only take up to 10 working days to get my connection going, and this Friday is the 10th day. not off to a good start. Their service had better improve...

    Mmmmmm 8mbps connection (well probably 5mbps), can't wait
