Bjarney...
I still have a 2400 Baud modem sitting in my closet.
Think this relic will be worth anything in the future?

Sandro, if you fill it with epoxy and cut it into a wedge—it makes a mediocre door stop.

I am in the minority here, I can get DSL or Cable but I am still on dial up at 50 to 53 kbps. I think cable will cost me about $40.00 more then dial up.
Get to check out T1 at work and it kills me when I go back to dial up.
But my wife is starting to miss the use of the phone so that's a good excuse to get cable.

Mine is a DSL here at home. The DLS is shared with 3 other computers in the house. At work I'm on a LAN with about 100+ plus additional computers. The LAN conncects with the outside world by a T1.

Dial up at 56K, but very lucky to get that high regularly.
Too far from the telephone substation to get greater service and no cable near.

Cable here for about 2 plus years. I used to have an extra phone line and my dial up cost about 35 a month then, basic cable package and internet cost 50. Right now the modem cost 10 per month and 15 for internet.
...don't think I could ever go back to dial up
