56k, I wish mine connected that fast. Mine connects at 28.8 02.gif .I live in wainfleet ontario about a 45 minute drive west of Buffalo, and I'm not even sure we exist on the map. One day someone will notice us and offer something a little quicker. I hope this response shows up before the end of summer.. laugh.gif

I would probably throw my computer against the wall if I had a 28.8k.  sad.gif


Even back when I had a 56k it was frustrating.

Unfortunatly yes, I still have dial up 56k. No company wants to offer the service here, I don't even have cable TV. It's been this way for 8 years now and it doesn't look like the company will ever make the move. Before you tell me to get a satellite connexion, in my area it would cost around 80$ to 100$ per month, no thank you I've got better things to do with my money.

So shame on me, thanks for the headsup about the monster picture posts. wink1.gif

My mom still has dial up I hate using her pc when I stop there. I can't believe I ever used it.

She can't even look at my photobucket acc without it taking her 30 -45 min lol.

wow thats a lot more than I was expecting. I'll have to do some research and see what percentage of internet users actually use dialup now.
