Remember when 9600 baud was blazing?

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.

Oh well....
I'm in the stone age I guess...
56K modem, running at 48.17 right now...
Cable may be coming.

56K dialup still, Comcast still wants too much for cable.

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

My connection on a good day, when I say to myself "Oh, Cool!" after it "handshakes"...
