Is dial up still alive?

[AVALover5498]

I keep seeing people post "DUW" on their picture threads and it always get's me thinking. Does anybody even have dial up anymore?

Let us know!

I hope nobody still uses dial-up. I used to have it, and I almost shot myself in the face with frustration just trying to get to the Internet!

LOL I did this exact thread once. Not one person I believe admitted to using dialup.

we just got DSL about 3 months ago... but that's only because it wasn't available till then! i don't live too far out in the country, but the coverage just wasn't there. you had to get the satellite broadband for like $100/mo and only slightly faster than dial-up. no thanks! ironically our dsl is only $9.99... that's less than the last dial-up i paid for.

Yea, I was living out too far in the boonies, I had to live with dial up until I moved closer to the city.

Doesn't matter now because we have that high speed wireless.

Dial up is alive and well... at my grandfather's house. Although he only pays $3 per month for unlimited service, so you have to give him props for that. Besides, all he does is check his email and read jokes.

As for me... T1 all the way, baby!

I guess I'm all alone here. I still have dial-up at work (on it right now). I don't own a TV, a computer, or a cell phone and I love it that way. If not for my snakes I would be completely off grid.

I don't use dial up, but i remember hearing a story on NPR about it very recently, something about possibly raising dial up rates IIRC, and the number of people they said still used dial-up was A LOT more than I would have guessed. I want to say something like 40 million still used it. I'm probably making that number up, but it was way more than I would have guessed.
