More and more I see threads with "56k warning!!!" and I'm thinking to myself, who actually uses dial-up anymore? Broadband is almost all over the globe and lets face it, you couldn't play BF2 with dial-up and therefor you wouldn't know of this site, so is there anyone here that still uses 56k?

I have a modem somewhere
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

My dad in a small town in OR has 56k.  When I visited last summer I thought I would die.
EDIT: Even my GRANDMOTHER had dsl.

A month ago, yes I did. Slowest sh*t ever, about 3 kilobytes a second in transfer rate. Then about 3 weeks ago I got broadband!! YAY!!!!! Now I have to find a way to control my BF2 online addiction. Now seeing how fast Broadband can go, I can NEVER go back to dial-up, not for any reason.

I know somebody who still uses a 56k modem and they only ever use it for emails.

You send them one funny image or gif and they spend ages waiting for it to load. lol

Try going from a 10Mb line to dialup, it's fucking awesome. Spent 9 months with netzero(◄ LOL) last year before i found a wireless broadband provider that could give me a 680Kb connection(which i can't game on). I haven't been able to play online for the last year and a half.

All my troubles end on Tuesday when i move into the city. 20Mb line FTW.

It will be nonstop online gaming for a couple weeks.
