I know, I know.....it's not enough, but I have dialup, which totally sucks!

I'm running 1:1.4 comments made:received, which isn't good enough, but I do try to do the best I can.

I keep hoping that cable will come thropugh like they keep promising.

At least you have a promise. Anytime we ask anyone (phone co., cable, satellite) for anything besides dialup, we just get a funny look and, "No. No plans in the future."

You kinda get used to after a while. Perhaps. Maybe I just do everything slower though.

man, I'm sorry you guys, i don't know what I'd do without cable! especially when i am on call (i work in IT for a hospital) and when you can solve a problem across the internet at 2:30 in the morning and not have to go in....well thats worth the cost right there

I know how you feel! I have dial-up and can not do anything hradly without it taking an hour. Im trying to look at photos at least veryday though...then again im new so my stats dont matter yet haha.

It's amazing to think that there's still some places that only have dial-up. I'm in a small town far away from any big cities and we've had cable and DSL for years. We even have high speed satellite connections for peoples that lives all year round in their cottage in the woods.

I'm feeling for you guys SO MUCH! What a crappy situation.

You are amazing to keep up with everything as you do - dial nearly drove me off the internet (well not quite, but there was SO MUCH more swearing!)

Jeb,

That sucks about the dial up, sometimes our connection here in Okinawa feels like it is dialup (especially at lunch when I guess EVERYONE is checking the web).

One thing I can offer about your comments ratio...stop taking such nice pictures and people will not feel so compelled to comment on them...hey it works for me lol.

I wonder if they marked that comment as helpful. ;-)

Satellite?

Satellite is an option.....if I want to cough $1000 down and pay $100 a month for service that's slower than DSL.

And we have satellite for the TV......every time it rains or the wind blows.....no signal.

I don't really think that's such a good deal.
