Crikey how do you find dial up?. tried accsessing t internet from my dads place the other day and I swear i could have caught the train home logged on to my pc, and caught it back again and it would have still been faster

We'd be on dial-up if it wasn't for a rural partnership scheme in operation here that gets wireless internet to us. No hope of getting broadband as the phone lines aren't capable of it, and somehow I can't see BT doing anything about it...

Hello

I do know a few people who are still on dial-up. They have no need or desire for broadband. They just dial up, get their mail perhaps book a holiday once a year and that is it. Always on, fast connection, doesn't appeal.

I think that very-light users will go to broadband when it is included free in their current deal (Sky, Carphone Warehouse are two recent examples).

Yes, only due to the fact the I live on a private unadopted road, and BT wont guarantee to put it back to rights after the cables have been laid - or whatever they need to do

No need anyway - my bro has BB & a T1 isdn line (for work purposes

I've had to resort to using dial up a few times recently, as between them Plusnet and BT seem incapable of fixing a fault on my line!

I use a BT PAYG dial up for emailing when Orange/Wanadoo BB screws up.
It maybe slow but its a lifeline for my company.
