We are still using dial up since we live out in the country, our nearest town is about 10 miles away. We cannot afford Satellite. We also do not have cable or afford satellite television. We are fortunate to have this computer in the first place so though we would dearly love to have a quicker connection so that we would not miss out on things, we cannot. My phone company, Verizon, does not have DSL in my area yet either. I have tried!! So please consider those of us that have only dial up when you have things that move or have music and such on your pages. I know for me if it loads at all it bogs down my computer and sometimes shuts my pages. Thanks for seeking to understand!!!

some people in my country still do that, but I'm allready not using that type of connection, I'm using dialup also, but different line, I'm using dialup through a phone cell, using gprs, or pdn line, so I use my cell phone as my modem, for the gsm gprs line it's almost the same speed with dialup using phone line, but the cdma pdn power is pretty faster than both of the other.

I don't use dial up anymore. Now, I'm using unlimited GPRS connection. It's cheper than dial up. But many people in my country still use dial up connection for connect to internet even is it's expensive and has slow bandwith. By the way, what do you mean with BB? I do not understand..
