back on broadband

[philgrove]

hi everyone, been of broadband for a while which was making the internet painful. ( like pulling out your own teeth ), but now its back and so am i, and i can enjoy the holiday snaps without having to click on the link, go and make a coffee, come back click on anaother link, go and make another coffee ' you can see where this is going '. only 123 days till we fly out, 3 weeks in the sunshine state, it may not be heaven but its damn close.[msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnsmile2]

You can say that again. I live right out in the 'sticks' in Wiltshire and my part of the village did not have Broadband till October 2003. The improvement in internet connection and browsing is astonishing.

What did we all do before WWW (with or without BB)....I can't remember anymore????

I don't have broadband
It takes for ever to look at photos etc - but on this site they are well worth waiting for [msnwink]

I love the way people used to call the WWW the "world wide wait". When they got broadband they suddenly realise the WWW is actually very fast - it was their old dial-up connection that was causing it to seem slow

Before I got my own home PC, I used to be very critical of people whose life appeared to come to a standstill if their computer broke down. Now I know how it feels from personal experience. How did people ever cope without the internet?

Can't be that far out in the sticks, we didn't get broadband until 1 Sept 2004.

About 2 miles away from the nearest town, Wootton Bassett. We had to wait almost 18 months after they got BB before getting ours.[msnmad]

You soon forget just how slow dial up is once you have broadband and then when you do have to use it again it drives you mad.[msnsmile2]

We've only JUST been able to go Broadband.

It really is the best thing! Know what you mean Phil about downloading photos/making coffee using dial up.

I think the difference between dial up and Broadband is like this:-

You drive to your nearest town on your tractor and come home in a Ferrari!!![msnscared]
