Have you ever used dial up internet connection in your life?

When I first started on the internet I used dial up never again will I use it too slow lol...

When I first started using the internet way back many years ago, I had dial up but now I will never go back to it after using high speed!

I have always used dialup internet connection. I would love to have high speed but there is limitable access to it here and it is outragious. My neighbor has it and he says his is not much faster at all.

yes...I had it for years. It was all I could afford. I only in the past year got hi-speed.

Oh I have! It was soo slow to connect! It took me ages! And while it was connecting I would pray for it to get connected! It helps! hehehe! this question makes me remember those days when I just stayed at home and don't mind staying at home because of MIRC!

Dial up internet connection is a very first internet connection option for home users. I used it about ten years ago for the my first time. As time goes by, i think dial up is not suitable for now. Dial up has many limited performance and only run with very low speed if compared with broadband which can be easily find now in cheap price. Have a nice weekend and happy mylotting.

I had dial-up in 2000 but it was soooooooo slow and painful to use, that I swapped to Broadband. I find the experience much more enjoyable and would never consider going back to dial up. At the moment, I use an Orange Live Box which is DSL, but I'm thinking of moving on from that now. Brightest Blessings.

OH yes. In the beginning, almost 20 years ago - or maybe more, I get confused as I get older heheheheh It was weird or at least that's how I see it now when I think back on those days, but at that time it was just.. normal :)

Yes, I used dial up, at first it was tolerable, but the more people who went on the internet, the worse and slower it became. Now I'm spoiled because this is sooo fast compared to dial up. People who never had it can't even imagine.

yes sure when i came to internet the firrst time i used a dial-up,really slow,connection and not a broadband one also because in that period the broadband wasn' developed and so it was reallye expensive afterthat i passed to a broadband one as well..

Well, I have never used a dial up connection. As you can see, in the place where I live, there is no landline connection. So there is no option for dial up. My phone is wireless and my internet connection is wireless broadband. I guess if there was a landline connection during the early time, I would have been able to use a dial up.

I live in Ky. Before I moved into the city I lived in rural KY and there was no broadband there. Dial up was the only thing we had, so yes, for 5 years I used dial up! Can you imagine!? I have cable internet now, I think it's the same thing as broadband and I love love love it!

Yes, lol, years ago when dial up is the only way to connect to internet . The machine sounds weird, the connection was slow, but at that time it already looks cool

I did use once and the connection was so slow at my area. Finally we bought modem and auto connect whenever we need to browse internet. Its much more easier compare to dial up connection

Oh my... Even just the words Dial Up scares me. I cannot believe that there are people who live in areas where there is higher speed would ever consider still doing this. In reality it is so expensive really and so SLOW. I have been on Higher speed either thru my Cable company, or Clearwire now for about 4 yrs I would say. I could NEVER go back to anything else. I do too much stuff online for slower speed for sure.

hello ajithlal! yeah, i have used a dial up connection before when i still didn't have a broadband connection. i used to buy internet prepaid cards, dial the number and wait patiently for it to connect to the server. i remember i either used to stay up late or wake up early just to avail of their promo which is unlimited internet surfing between 11pm until 7am. i would stay up until 12 or even later to surf the net. sometimes i would wake up as early as 5am to avail of the promo and surf the net for 2 hours. ^^;; there were times that i got so frustrated and annoyed because i can't connect to the server. and there were times that the connection was really slowwwww. so i'm really thankful that i have a broadband connection now. no more dialing, no more staying up late or waking up early to avail of a promo. ^^

Sure. 12 years ago the I accessed internet by dial-up modem. At first the modem speed is 32K and later it was 56K. 56K was already very fast speed at that time. What a big change during these years. Right now I use ADSL to access internet. I love China

I used it for many years because when I started to get online there was no other option. Back then each minute of Internet use was charged for, like a telephone call. Contracts were introduced about a year later and then I had unlimited dial up use for a set monthly payment. Now I have broadband on an 18 month contract but I'm restricted to 3GB each month. I don't really know what that means but I did go over my limit one month and was punished for it by having my speed slowed down for two weeks!

I definitely have! But it was a very long time ago. There was a time though that we had to use dial up because we do not have DSL available. The difference is unimaginable. I am so used to a high speed internet service that I won't even bother using dial up even if it's available.

Of course! Back in the days, the only option you have is a dial up connection. Recently, I tried using one but to my dismay. It's just way too slow (once you get used to broadband speed, that is). But, if you're feeling nostalgic, it sounds like a good. LOL
