RANT: Qwest

<< < (2/3) > >>

BCTurk:
@spengo - Monopoly, they're the only ones that offer service to where I live :(

@Ranman - Yeah, I was pretty pissed when I posted that.  Seems like they either worked it out or are in the process now, my internet seems to be faster and not down.  2 years of a service contract, but it wouldn't matter, because of the monopoly thing :(.

Ranman:
I could never go back to dial-up. O_O It's just not in the option book.


But, I am old enough to remember 300bps -- not kbps -- on my Commodore 64. Then, I upgraded to 1200bps. I said I would never go back to 300bps. :zzz: However, back then we called it "baud" not "bps".

BCTurk:
Same here, there's plenty of dial-up avaible, but, well, no.

dysfunction:
I agree, I could never go back to dialup. I pretty much couldn't bear anything much under what I've got, but I wish I could upgrade from 768/128 Verizon to the 3 meg Verizon service or the 6 meg Comcast service... but at least its reliable.

Ranman:
I started with 300 bps now I am at 3 Mbps... Wow O_O That's 10000 time faster %)

In more recent times, I have been upgraded from 768Kbps to 3Mbps at no cost via my service provider. That is 4 times faster... I don't really notice... I thought 768 was already pretty darn fast.
