Angry Dial-Up sucks

Arrrghhh... After using broadband for over a year, I realize how painful surfing now is.

Well that still ain't gonna stop me from posting I tell you what.

What's the point of dailup anyways? It's just, if not more, expensive than Broadband. 30 a month for Broadband, but for dialup its 20 or so a month (depends on how much you use it) for phone line use, and another 20 for ISP charges. Why doesn't everyone switch?!?!

I'm on NetZero for now, but most dialup providers here allow unlimited access for less than $10/mo., and cable here has been raised to $50-60/mo.

I was thinking about buying my own cable modem, but ATT's raising the rates in the Seattle area $7 per month if you own your own modem. and it's $10 a month to lease. So i could drop $10 a month, but in a couple months it would go up $7, so it's only like saving $3...so i guess i'm not too worried
