I remember when I upgraded from 14k to 28k and then to 56k and it was the bees knees, so f*cking fast. lol.

Now it is absolutely dire. Just shows how quickly you can get used to something.

Same with Pro Evo on the PS2. To get through games quicker, I used to put it on double speed. At first, it was crazy fast. After a couple of games, I'd change it back to normal speed, and it honestly looked like slow motion because I'd got used to the fast pace.

I know a few people who are still on 56k because BB isn't yet available to them.

I use dial up at various times throughout the day. Very slow but it has its uses.

Lol! I remember paying Netcom UK £29.99 per month unlimited access on dial-up on my 28k modem. I then had the BT call charge on top of that.

I wanted to push for a 36k modem, but they were circa £110 at the time.

How things change!

D.

If you're on Plusnet its almost similar now!

My first provider was The Free Internet (TFI) and you had to pay a years subscription up front! What made it worse was that we had a DACS BT line so the max connection speed was 28k.

[sn00p]

My first modem was 1200.

You young one's wont remember the time before the internet, when BBS's ruled the world.....

Well even though Bt lines are supposedly capable of speeds in excess of 24mb.... Most of the lines around the country are only capavle of running just over 38k.. Inside contacts FTW ; )

In other words they are running them at speeds the cables cant cope with hence why we all get issues every now and then
