If my kids can remember dial up you should be able to.

i do, but i never had it personally

i used uni computers until 2003, then went cellular. The flats i lived in hadn't had anyone with phone connected in years, and i couldn't fit the $300 new connection fee at the time

i think mundie's was earlier though?

We had dial up in the early 90's

Different tests show different numbers - but any way you look at it, it's a pretty quick connection...

And cats. Don't forget cats. I'm pretty sure 20% of all internet bandwidth was cats until people started streaming full length movies.

edit - weird, this was meant as reply to a different post - the one about email and p_rn...

OMG how accurate! I also use it to prove to my kids when they are mispronouncing a word! Like emu, drove me nuts til I finally pulled it up and told them to start saying it right before they looked ignorant to the whole world! They were saying E moo

ee-myoo :)

you are lucky in north america, having these speeds. But in Europe we have it on the cheap side.

Still boggles my mind. Why would north america charge for communication more than Europe!! They are the freaking source of it all.

In Greece I can get a healthy 12mbps download quota free + free local calls for 22 USD/month.

(Then again the average greek gets paid around 1000 usd a month)
