fucking dial-up

JavaLSU · 9 months

A real scumbag would pick up the phone to see if you're online rather than asking.

Today's youth will never know

Smoking_Pun · 9 months

We only stopped using dial-up about 5 years ago. 3rd World Problems.

I...I completely forgot that that used to happen. Now I'm annoyed about it all over again and it hasn't happened to me in more than a decade.

EDomina · 9 months

That's still a problem today. Not the dial-up, but people who are so fucking loud while you try to enjoy your cat videos.

Crossfox17 · 9 months

Apparently dial up still exists, and people use it.

Heh, this has been happening lately at my house because our stupid DSL modem's wireless interfered with the house phone's channel. Every time the phone rang, the wireless shut off.

Scumbag sister in the late 90's spends hours on AIM so I can't get calls from friends. We get cable modem my dad agreed to finance by my doing extra yard work, she sits on family computer IMing while talking on the phone. I hated that so much...

mam8cc · 9 months

I forgot people still use dial-up and ever worse, don't have internet.

thejeero · 9 months

...Puts phone back down immediately and you're still connected! FIRST WORLD SUCCESS!!!!

[deleted] · 9 months

That just means he cares about you and wishes you were talking to him rather than surfing the internet. It's not the most tactful way of showing it but you get the message.

thethreadkiller · 9 months

Picks up phone and mashes the number pad number to disrupt the connection.

hawps · 9 months

I remember my mom would leave her computer in her room connected all night so I wouldn't be able to get on on the computer in my room. After she went to sleep I would sneak outside and disconnect the phone line from the box on the side of the house to kick her off, then tip toe back upstairs to AOL my face off all night.

Here in Australia, there was this ISP called "Dodo" about 5 years ago. They claimed to have a dial up internet speed as fast as cable/broadband connections.
But, like the actual dodo, this company became extinct. Mainly because their claims were total BS

redd_itch · 9 months

What great times the 1990's were. I remember using the internet for the first time, trying to guess URL's instead of searching for them. How primitive that seems now..

Midgetfinger · 9 months

Another reason to feel old....thanks

My parents wouldn't cave and get broadband until 6 or 7 years ago. My sister's routine was

-Turn on computer

-Press connect to internet

-Leave

-Make lunch

-Eat lunch

-Come back

-Internet finally connected
