I had dial up when I first got a computer. shortly thereafter I got<br />
cable modem and the answer is no I'd never go back to dial up unless<br />
that was all there was available. I down load a lot of stuff and so<br />
speed is important. I don't want to be spending the time waitng for<br />
something to come up when I could have finished something I was doing<br />
in the time it took to bring any given site up. Some things you can't<br />
get at all with dial up so that is the kicker for me.

Once we discovered internet cable, there was no going back. City is bringing DSL in for a much lower price, but I have never been impressed by its speed. Will have to do some hard thinking on whether or not we will switch.

Patrick, If I had to choose between giving up broadband access or my cell phone, the cell phone would be gone in a heartbeat. Let em send me an email or IM, or perish the thought, a land line. <br />

I'm going to be in Maine this summer to visit some friends and attend a blues festival. I was up there in 1994 around Bangor and Bar Harbor.

Jim, <br />
I was working at home when it was announced DSL would be available near my area. I hounded those people, and hounded my neighbors to hound those people to make my area one of the first to have it available. I think they did it just to shut me up. There were a few reliability problems at first (this was back in Bell Atlantic days), but now it is solid.

Ha! The U.P. of Michigan is where I spend a lot of my summer. It is funny that it is depicted as the sticks. And it is. But, I use dial-up and it does the job. I have a cabin on the river, fifteen miles outta town and I really don't lack for service. The phone line is just fine.

Patrick is in Maine, but you don't have to live in the UP of Michigan to be thankful you have phone service. My in-laws live an hour north of Detroit-they live on a dirt road, are to far out to have cable and any sort of dsl or high speed hookup for their computer. My father-in-law is too damn cantankerous and stubborn to get a satellite. After I realized that we could lay dead in their house for a week before anyone found us I cut back on my visits.

I'm on dial-up most of the time due to my travel. I can't commit to one place long enough to warrant any high-speed commitment. But---I am disappointed when I stay at a hotel that has the latest highspeed setup. It's not much faster than what I have. Pictures are the only significant difference.

Being the patient person I am, when we had dialup I just lost interest...I just couldn't sit around, even if it was to read a book....I feel for those that are still sitting and waiting.
