stupid dialup

[Magena]

As I'm sure most of you are aware, I'm on dialup.... well, tonight it actually rained in San Diego. - we got over a half inch in a matter of hours. This might not seem like much to most people, but here it means we get to turn the water off around the house for a few days. YEAH!!!

 

BUT... and this is where the dialup part comes in. my connection is only at 4.8k tonight. I mean HOW can a dialup be that sloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww??

if that consoles you: my connection was always @ about 3.6 k...

 

it's gotten a little faster now that broadband works (took them guys from cablecom 7 weeks...), at last!

Dial-up is affected by line use and weather conditions far more than other internet access methods, as a result packets have to be resent several times to get through.
