You may think i am on DSL, but i am not, i just type fast.

Well...DSL is now available in West Central Frogstump and we are getting it! I thought it would never happen. They said it would not be til September but they moved it up I must be dreaming.

So in other words...i am finally entering the 90s! Do you believe it? And i will be entering it by next week!

(a nice thing after being MIA when a power outage screwed up the modem today!)

:headbang:
 
YAY YOU!! :clapping::clapping:

DSL is a total spoiler. You'll never be able to go back to dial-up.

I've had at least cable modem since about 1999... now I have Verizon DSL. While getting it set up I had to use dial up and most of the time I didn't even bother getting online 'cause it's SO slow & I have no patience anymore!
 
My husband had it about 1997/98 but the computer he had was really too slow for it so it didn't make a HUGE difference, but enough.

I can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!!

And my husband has the wireless thing on his laptop so i can sit on the back porch and get online.
 
We had to go back to dial up for a couple of weeks after we moved. I had gone from cable to dial up....I would sit like a kid waiting at the bus stop just for my email to load up....back humped over, mouth agape, hands dangling, feet turned in. It got to where I'd click and then go carry in a box or shuffle one around and come back.

You will be impressed!

I have been on wireless for the last year or so and love it but on the 28th going to Verizon DSL!! I think it will be much faster but what I am on is fast now.

Chris, you are gonna love it!
 
I was really shocked.

Well, up until this week, you had the choice of satellite tv or putting up one of those gigantic antennas - not the big kind for the roof but the type that goes in the ground and is at least twice the height of your house. You look like you are keeping track of the space station with it. And we have been here 2 years now.
 
FALSE ALARM!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't get it.

They were only "taking orders" for my area.

The service is not available for months! I am so disappointed
 
Oh, pooh, Chris. So sorry, but at least you know it is coming soon!
 
Do you have cable TV? They usually offer online service.

So sorry, dahling. I feel for you with dial-up. I've decided that I'll never move anywhere I can't get DSL or cable.

Nope. we don't have cable in our area. Not yet.

We have either dial up or satellite for internet providers...but when we had to pay $600 up front for equipment/ $99+ a month for access, we said KEEP IT!
