Hello Family,

Now that we have these audio files playing on the home pages of the community, i'm wondering how many of us are using dialup and how many of us are using broadband.

These audio files will slow the load of the page for those on dialup, but those on broadband will hardly notice any difference. The files are about 18 seconds of sound.

If you are on dialup, is it messing with your cyber experience considerably, and you'd rather they not be there?

For those that may not know, dialup is when you use your phone line to dial into your Internet Service Provider via a modem. Broadband is dsl, cable, etc., usually a 24/7 connection to the Internet.

Please be sure to vote in the poll above, and post your comments (if any) below.

Thanks a Bunch.

I have the Dsl connection

I have DSL on a ghetto virus plagued computer! :nightowl: As a result it is as slow as dial up anyway.

Wow...at home right now, I don't have either, but when I was connecting I was using dial-up and it is sooooooooooooooo slow. I'm at work now though and you sound great Destee! :)

Broadband is the only way to go.

I've removed the files for now, due to the following request:

awwwwwwww mannnn i thought the voice thingiemabob was a great idea *sigh*
I have tha cable modem so yall talk FAST! lolol

Yea yall I got dat slow and pitiful dialup, until I get this film project in order, it is gone be dial up for a minute, but I think Des that you could possible recompress the audiofiles to be more suitable for dialup connections, or create a script which detects the speed of each user and properly plays the file for each speed.

Dial-up. Blah. Just wait until next year. Just wait!

DSL at home and Cable when im over my peoples house so im cool. :picture:
What's funny is when I was at a friends house and I got on their computer it was a nightmare being on Dial up again. I will never go back to the dial up crap! :pie:

I have broadband.

i don't have dialup...but will i beable to hear with my mac...i don't think so....

i have cable modem, but i need more memory in my computer. so its slow anyways

I have Aol platinium broadband, :cool:

I've gone MacGyver with my connection... See....I use an old Atari, 3 AA batteries, a piece of chewed bubble gum and 3 eyelashes for a connection slightly faster than dial up but just under broadband speed.. :idea: I call this BroadsUp 4.0 .....lololol

Seriousely...I have the cable connection.

ha, ha,..........Nita you so craaaaaazy! I use broadband myself.

Cable rules dial -up is like climbing the mountain. :climb:

ha, ha,..........Nita you so craaaaaazy! I use broadband myself.

hehehehehe..I know it....lol

LOL @ nitra smh

I have DSL

I agree. Dial up is such a pain these days. I have really been spoiled.

I can't stand dial-up anymore. College spoils people these days. So I am dishing out $$ to Comcast for it but thats what you gotta do.

I think I gynxed myself the other day. My boradband has been so slow all day.

I have broadband now. My dialup through the university wasn't that bad though. I think they're providing better service to students, faculty and alumni.

Dialup is terrible when downloading. I couldn't stand it. That, eventually, is what pushed me into getting broadband. That and a better job to pay for it. :lol:

Broadband (Roadrunner Cable Internet, peaks out at around 4-5mbit/s :shades: ). I haven't been on dialup for about half a decade. Besides, working in the Internet industry usually doesn't allow you to have anything other than broadband.

Definitely broadband -- i even get annoyed when my broadband is a couple of secs slow -- I dont know how I ever was able to deal with dial up
