Is dial up still alive?

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!

PS. I know this might be lame but I can't sleep haha.

cell phones

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!
:rage:

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

I'm not surprised!

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. :P

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. :D

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.
