Is anyone on slower internet than me?

OK so I want to see how bad this is...

My house in the middle of no where, the phone lines are old, NO DSL, NO Cable, NO RADIO, NO SPECIAL INTERNET.

So I typically connect at half of possible dialup speed. So can anyone beat 26.4K BPS?

Ugh you're giving my flashbacks to 1996 hehe.

So hey does this page load alright for you speed-wise? I never actually connected on a slow-ass modem to see how usable it is.

A neighbor has tried satellite, while they advertise faster speeds they don't 'guarantee' them and 2-year minimum contracts scare me.

Speeds are decent for loading. I use a graphic reducing accelerator and keep a nice sized image cache.

the satellites suck, wile theres no guarantee on speed, you get reasonable (slower
then DSL) DL speeds and once you hit the cap on bandwidth, they bottleneck you to
almost nothing in speed, I got a refund on mine because I capped out in under 3
days, they swore it was 'unlimited internet access'

We use satellite, we had some problems a couple weeks back but now things are back to around 1.5mb/s. The only problem is that it cost 200 dollars for the initial setup :smile:

"I never actually connected on a slow-ass modem to see how usable it is. "

:lol: man, i bet that would even be way too much work, finding a modem slow enough, installing it..  good call on not testin it...
