I uploaded stuff on Kazaa a couple of years ago on dialup. It can be done but, as with anything dialup compared to broadband, it's a horrible option.
And you are right, at $27.95 my dsl connection is not really any more expensive than when I had AT&T dialup ($19.95).
High Speed Internet ($27.95)+ Online Game ($9.95)= cheap long term entertainment ($37.90 or @$1.25 a day). Cheaper than cable or a nice dinner and show.
Online Game = Everquest?
Yep been there done that! Now I play AO much better game!
The cheap broadband is cheap for only a year or so.
Or so I thought....then my mom called Southwestern Bell because they had a offer for new customers to get it for 29 bucks a month instead of 40 like we were paying (hey, it still was not much more expensive than 2 phone lines).
Guess what...they actually said they would drop our monthly fee to the new customer rate and to just call and request that rate any time it went up again!
My word....what a deal!
Needless to say, the fact that existing customers can get the cheap rate is not something they advertise, but we called and got it.
I wonder if other DSL carriers are the same.
