Yeah thread title sums it up.

God no!

I don't use dial-up anymore and I don't think a lot of people still do since broadband and even ADSL is relatively cheap these days (not to mention how much faster they are compared to dial-up - unless if you reach your monthly quota).

use wireless internet. still pretty slow.
damn john howard cant keep his "nationwide high speed broadband" pre-election promise. >__>"

lol I thought it was Kevin Rudd who promised high speed broadband for everyone...where do your sources come from lol?

 

[Rafy]

Not since Late 2001.

x3.eddayyeeee: That would be Rudd's election promise. Howard did have a broadband plan, but he isn't exactly around anymore to implement it...

sorry if i got my facts mixed up.
but , im sure for john howard's last term as PM , he promised high speed internet.
I was just saying that he didnt carry through when he had the opportunity, instead he was following George Bush's orders around like a dog.

And that's why he got the highest American civil honour from him, the Medal of FREEDOM. Good boy Johnny, here's your reward (plus a pat on the back) lol.

Oh god no!

I like to multi task; i.e. Phone + surfing the net at the same time

When will fibre optics come out? Oh man. You should try the internet in South Korea. It's so god damn fast! since they've got fibre optics i'm assuming

my internet gets shaped to dial up speed when i use all my dl
does that count?

 

[Absolutezero]

My mate has it. He's so hard to get in touch with, because someone is always online. And he never checks his mobile...

 

[APCSfan]

nope. cable

 

[Sandchairs]

sup

 

[*Jezzza]

Yep still use it.... I live in a rural area and Telstra is too lazy or cheap to upgrade my exchange and satellite is way too expensive considering the download limits. I do a good 3.5GB/month on dial up so no satellite plan at a reasonable price will match that.



I think someone was wrong with the upload test though... and generally I can get 50 downloading (ohh... 50kbps... how exciting)

I finally made the transition (i.e. moved out of home) in August 2004.
Currently on 8/1Mbps ADSL2+
