I did the same thing last year. I had Roadrunner at my parent's house, but only had dial-up after I got married for a year. It sucked. Now I've got broadband, and its leaps and bounds over dial-up. Just think of all that porn you can look at now!

Indeed. Dialup is so bad. I'm so glad my parents switched to cable and now DSL.

I've had my DSL since October. It's like when you go black, You never will go back. And if you have Limewire, Make sure you have Zone Alarm or a condom for your computer.

I've had Road Runner since the summer of 2001 ... no way I'd ever go back.

Hey Spaz you have to get the 'Get This' podcast. Its great. It's humor that you might like.
And the good thing about it is you can listen to some great comedy without having to listen the the shithouse music that 'Triple M'* plays.
*I'm aware there is a poster here called 'Triple-M' but I'm not referring to him. 'Triple M' is a radio station in Australia that plays really crap music.

I've had cable internet for a long time now, it's soooooooo much better than dialup. We tried DSL for a bit, but the connection was seriously bad here. I've gotten speeds of up to 1.5MB/sec on this sucker, though my average is 300k/sec.

I'm spoiled as I have had high-speed for the last 10 years.... starting from my dorm in college, and every apartment thereafter.... however, my parents still have dial-up so anytime I visit, I either stay far away from the computer or make sure I absolutely NEED to do something, otherwise I'll likely have an anger stroke in the time it'd take to get anything accomplished.
