This is terrible. . . . . .

Ok, so today i packed up all my stuff and said goodbye to Western New England College. Now i never had the internet at home cause my parents are cheapskates - so i had to download NetZero and get a wopping 10 free hours of online access a month.

56k really sux compared to the 3 T1's running my school's net.

Sorry man, that blows.

I have dialup at home because that's all we can get. Live in a no man's land between cable companies.

That's why I'm on at work more.

It really sux - i have to get offline in 15 minutes - 10 hours a month is 2 hours a week / 3 hours on 2 weeks.

This means i cant do as much arguing/post whoring as i used to

I will probably reply to this thread again next week

I think its funny how when NetZero started they were a completly free banner driven unlimited dailup service that nobody knew about. Now their service completly contradicts what they were. They make you pay for their better servers while the rest of the people who want free service get das boot.

their slogan used to be the way the internet was meant to be. try again guys...

Dial up sucks ass...but hey...it's like $10/month for us. And 56K is quoted as optimum speed but most phone lines won't support that kind of speed so the best you'll get is around 52k or 53k usually. Damn slow ass connections...20 minutes for one song. Blarg!
