3dobermans Adept Boomer Registered: 10/01/05 Posts: 13476 Loc: Palouse country	Live in a small town and have dial-up at 31.2kbps. Largest download I can do is about 80Mb and can take up to 6+ hours. The one little phone company in town offers a high speed/router (with a no return option and can never be used elsewhere if one decided to move), starting at 64kbps. Phone/internet company has no competition and has never had any competitors. _________________________ Reading is to the mind, what exercise is to the body - Joseph Addison

Albert Addicted Boomer Registered: 11/21/99 Posts: 1077 Loc: Glennville, Ga., USA	Broadband on the desktop, wireless broadband on the laptop. My ISP also offers a 1-800 dial up number for broadband users when on the road at 10 cents a minute. Howard the Doc, its been possible to connect to the internet through a cell phone for years, but its Sllooowwww (19.6k baud). I have an Ositech card and it does work as advertised. www.ositech.com Albert

acornia Addicted Boomer Registered: 06/24/01 Posts: 3805 Loc: Kentucky, USA	Dial up at 56k. No limit on it. Just don't download enough or on the internet enough to make it worthwhile. _________________________ Never resist a generous impulse.

BeaSong Addicted Boomer Registered: 01/30/04 Posts: 2961 Loc: rural Oregon, USA	Howard the Doc , Sorry I'm so late getting back to your question. We've been without power (because of the snow) which means the modem that connects to the satellite doesn't work. And, I've also been out of town. We've been trying to get my Mom's DirecWay dish and modem worked on for a month now and it is serviced by Hughes net. I'm shopping for something better. I'm to the point of thinking that ANYTHING is better! Grrrrrr. _________________________ B~ "Come Watson, the Game is afoot!" www.tiotucan.com

GuybrushThreepwood Addicted Boomer Registered: 09/06/03 Posts: 4417 Loc: Lincoln, NE	Dial-up (and my computer is ancient). I'll upgrade someday but for now I can't download large games. _________________________ Currently Playing: Adventure Game: Edna & Harvey The Great Breakout Casual: Mystery Tales: The Hangman Returns CE
