I remember the days where I had to shout "IM GONNA USE THE INTERNET", because every time we connected, all our phones would ring just once, but if somebody picked up, it would up the connection process. Sucked too because I couldn't get on the internet past a certain time since my parents would be sleeping and of course all the phones ringing would wake them up.
Or how about when someone called that line, most of the time it would kick you off.
The day we got a second phone line was glorious.
This was all about 8 years ago, I'd say. |
:stongue: :stongue:
Before I got my own computer in my room I remember wanting to use the internet when my mom went to bed and couldn't because the beeepbeeepshhhhh would wake her up and she'd get mad. :stongue: |

| nothing used to beat leaving your download to run for 3 days straight and have someone funk it up the last hour by picking up the phone. |

| Regular internet usage wasn't THAT bad on dial up. Playing Rainbow-6 and Command & Conquer on dial up was bad. REAL bad. |
