Remember dial-up connection?

LOL!!! I remember when I used to have that a long time ago. And couldn't you not use the phone or some crap like that? Haha!! My brother and sister used to fight all the time because she wanted the phone and he wanted the internet. HOW the heck did we live through that? I guess because maybe we didn't know anything better.

Have you ever had dial-up?

    Yes!!! Lol. And it took forever to connect and made that weird noise. I had dial-up back in the late 90's I believe. Wow, flashback.

    I remember hearing "I tried calling you for hours!" and saying, "Well, I was on the internet"...because I didn't even have a cell phone until 2001.

    I remember dial up every one would complain that they couldnt call us becuase the phone was busy and theyd go online and email me to get off so they could reach us on the phone

  • Yes, about 3 years ago.

    It was crap, I hated it fortunately I made the switch to Cable.

    had it when i was younger and boy it was crap. I have that verizon wireless broadband thing and sometimes it reminds me of dial up because it can run real real real slow at times and is very frustrating

    Yes, and it sucked certain things i shouldnt mention, i couldnt even watch youtube videos without waiting half an hour, and then when someone called, we'd have to blame it on the computer. LAME

    yes!! I remember! sighs...good ol' memories! I mean this is a good memory but anyway, I remember that!! I hated it because it sometimes doesn't work and as the other people mentioned, no one could call.

    It should be written in the contract with your ISP (Internet Service Provider). You have to have a copy of it. If not try to contact your ISP straight on the phone and they will give it to you.
