I hate having to still use dial-up because high speed is still not available yet where I live. It makes it such a pain to look at photos and other sites because it takes like 10 secs to load one photo...and that's just a small one. lol Does anybody else here share my pain. :( haha
I'm not sure if this goes in rant or here so I put it in general discussion. If it needs to be moved please do so...

| Make that at least 2 of us. We recently moved. I went from a DSL to a slow dial-up, very painful to say the least. I just keep my fingers crossed that I can get my entries to up-load before I get dumped. Voting is very slow and not fun at all! |

I found a piece of property last year and when i found out they didnt offer internet through the cable company. I refused to even consider buying it. Dial up sucks.

- commenters challenges come up and you simply have fallen to far behind to even dreem of catching up and submitting on you connection.
or
- your in crunch mode and your image gets bumped out of the challenge cause the page takes to long to load and the site rolls behind your back.
or
- when a free study comes up with over 600 submitions and you don't even hit 20% by the end of voting.
i even devoted 2hrs a day once with commenting i will admit. nothing counted cause i only got to 19%.
anyhow i just thought i would share that i to am contemplating moving into a cafe with free wifi...

I know how you guys feel. I had dial up until last year. We moved in to the city and now I got cable. By jeez, dial up is so slow. They should only charge like $3.00 for that stuff..
What I did, buy a laptop and go to Panera Bread and other hotspots to download and surf. |
