Remeber 56k modems?

[Anvilshock]

Remember retarded watermarks?

[daanniiee]

Was the noise just for fun or couldn't one function without,, I always wondered what was happening inside our pc producing these sounds...

[JAW007JAW]

sxephil sent me here?

[SalibaQ]

@JAW007JAW that means your awesome, love your face :P

[TimeSpex]

badass nostalgia

[heykatehey]

Never forget.

[echterdeutscherhonig]

[gamerathebrave]

@echterdeutscherhonig enduable?

[jwwatts]

"Remember"



[SuperPincopallino92]

my internet connection is actually slower than that, lol, 0.14 Mbps

[hinzster]

@SuperPincopallino92 uhm, 0.14 Mbps is nearly three times 56kbps, so no. And to people who think 56k was slow, my first modem was 2400 bps. Not kbps, not Mbps, 2400 bps.

[SuperPincopallino92]

@hinzster Right, mate. I am a little drunk :/

[ThePantyDroper]

@hinzster HA I remember those modems I had one. I was jealous of all the 56k modems.

[Xan81]

Connecting at High Speed

[TheGentlemanlyHeavy]

This was awesome.

[GameHoggers]

FOR LOKONOPA!

[BLAblaBLAblaBLAbla87]

Steamgifts army incoming!

[0bb0g]

That face could be mine while dialling up LOL!

[LittleTiny69]

I never had a modem i had ISDN from the 1st day on, in 1996 :)

[Xan81]

@LittleTiny69 What in the world would need ISDN speeds in '96? In that year, ISDN was for business... or porn addicts.

Jerking off too fast? Gotta go through a lot of porn? ;)

[Paperclown]

@Xan81 ... For downloading pirated cd games??? bootleg vcd movies I think were usually around 350 meg, we always filled up Iomega disks using university connection then.

[Xan81]

@Paperclown That's uhhh a horrible excuse for having that speed of Internet access... especially given that you were in college at the time...

everyone does a little bit of pirating - some, like myself, more than their share - but that is NOT something to be proud of.

Really, it isn't. Seriously... for a lot of reasons.

Keep it to yourself, dude. You could have said "school work" or "research" or something to that effect...

You're kinda part of the reason that Napster died - university kids..

[dralivo1]

Sheldon Cooper really miss that sound

[azertyuiop61473]

Genial



[KilleRotom]

OMFG. we still had this kind of modem in the early 2000s. I miss this sound :(

[jucleoport]

si cuando tenia ese computador mas penca que la xuxa usaba esa entrada...

[fvidz]

un momento emociante, cuando meterse a internet era la novedad, usabas como buscador Altavista y la unica pagina entrete era rotten punto com

[NaxoAsen23]

Lot Of Laugh! xDD

[Dalonso1994]

[joshster89]

@qcspartan1 For the record, most of Canada has DSL, Cable, or Satellite internet

[TheValiea]

I used to make all of those faces during 56k.

[LeGuyIncognito]

56k seizure....a common problem these days....

[D34DHUNT3R1]

[DoMiNeLa10]

0:11 IMA FIRING MAH LAZOR!

[totalrandomcrap]

Remember 56k? Why, do they have faster ones now? I should look into that. I was blown away at how much faster 56k was than 28k! Now they have faster ones! I'm off to Lechmere right now!

[DanzQueen]

WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY?!

[reisgama]

Só eu ficava ancioso escutando atentamente o barulho da conexão? Quando saia um pouco do tom já sabia que ia dar erro =XXX

[DJBreezeOnMyBalls]

This sound actually scared the shit out of me in the middle of the night.

[Jax0702]

[St33lR0b0t]

Still have one of these and i can actually connect to internet using dialup for free, used about three times when all local LAN/cable/wifi/mobile internet providers went offline due to accident (excavator vs optical cable, excavator wins - a few cities in Sweden, Finland and Russia were disconnected from net :D), dialup server connected to a satellite dish rocks.

[Dr0wnedCat]

@nolervik

Agree

[Kapetozzo]

@nolervik he may do a dubstep remix about this LOL

[Titans4life92]

@nolervik And if you don't have any Tumbs, Give Thumbs up instead!

[guitarherothre]

@nolervik so you're saying it sounds like complete shit? i agree

[Afrolatin22]

Remember wen u couldnt talk on the phone n use the internet at the same time? man we came a long way

[ForceTheShadow]

[sabohat7]

@ForceTheShadow that must suck

[ForceTheShadow]

@sabohat7 no actually it always gives me pretty good latency in games. but when you pick up the phone i'm doomed

[sabohat7]

@ForceTheShadow so long as there's no (or hardly any) lag then it's fine :) everytime the phone rings you're like NOOOOOO!!!!! xD

[ForceTheShadow]

@sabohat7 Unless i heard the phone i scream downstairs... "DID SOMEONE TAKE THE PHONE?!)

[sabohat7]

@ForceTheShadow sometimes when my mum goes next door she takes the phone with her. i'm so glad i don't have that no more xD

[tunisiangeek]

[Noppanut1]

WoW! Great! lol

[atdheu1100]

[Tonylicious94]

First form of dubstep

[sibzter]

Sound of the internet!

[Woth3n]

DONT ANSWER THAT FUCKING PHONE!!!!

[killernat]

if someone told me that i would actually miss that sound i would have kicked him in the balls

[68knative]

I remeber 2800 Baud Modems :-)

[Sweasy26]

Great video!

[mrbing993]

LMAO! I used to make these faces whenever I connected to the.. uh.. "World wide web" back in 1999!

[aliceterrarossa]

I want this to be my CallerTune so people calling me have to listen to this

[snuffy110]

[LekLekTheAsian]

"My computer is 2gb. I WILL NEVER USE THIS ALL."

Was what came back to mind.

[Nashkenji]

Brings back so many memories I almost forget there's a missing M to "remember". ( Noticed on the 10th replay, at least )

[jonny8Bit]

Dial-up is broadband in soviet russia

[schmelzbrot]

@jonny8Bit In soviet russia 56k means 100mbit

[Mindre451]

Sounds like two Decepticons fucking...

[Jeffrizel1986]

This reminds me of the 90's when I had America Online and how I would always fight with my mom, my brother and sister to use the internet because someone either had to use the phone or the internet... We couldn't use both at the same time.... We've come a LONG way.. thank god for cable and dsl.

I wonder if there's some fool out there still using a 56k modem?? LMAO

[jhaz89]

napster--> "dude this song download is hauling ass, it's only going to take like 20 minutes. mom don't get on the phone for like the next half hour"

[er10b]

If that was a handshake signal, I want to hear the full transfer.

[gbluez]

oh shit is this the new Skrillex song?

[TehFlyGuy]

fucking windows 98!!!!!!!!!!

[nothGhost]

That's the most disturbing orgasm I've ever seen.

[alexrosario16]

¡Niño, deja el "internete" ese o como se llame que tengo que hablar por teléfono!

[Rickokun]

Dad: "Son, your mom and I have to talk to you"

Me: "Why, mama and papaaaaa?"

Dad: "Son, did you perhaps visit any porn sites?"

Me: "Errrr...hehehe.....no...errr.­..why would you think so, father?"

Dad: "Well son, we've got this BIG ASS BILL WITH THE TIMES YOU WERE ON THE INTERNET JERKING OFF TO 'HOT TEENS' on our phone bill!"

Me: ".............................­....................."

*goes to room, lying in corner in fetal position with thumb in mouth*

[RobinOnXboxLive]

its fun, when my router or something brakes, i just put in 56k phone wire to my laptop and it still works, we aint payin for that no more since like 5yrs

[AzraelsLichtgestalt]

I love the sound starting at 0:12 :D

daaa-da-da-da-da-boo-chchchchc­h :D

[nig3r]

33 people are still using 56k modem :PP

[glendoi]

Nostalgia all up in this piece! Man, this makes me sad for some reason.

[drakeltheryuujin]

This thing makes me die with laughter

[marccox08]

One of Edd Gould's animations from the Stuff section.

[TheBlooglet]

The average viewer of this video is 18-44 years old. I must have been about 8 years old when I was first confronted with the internet in all its glory. My younger brother has no clue as to what these noises are from...

[creezy55]

SOUND LIKE DUBSTEP...

[cbiggs17]

You will never hear that sound come out of your computer ever again ;_;

[MiamiVice69100]

You are in the Matrix !! ^^

[vtecinf]

asshole, unfunny

[kayeno17]

I was waiting for the WELCOME! at the end.

[Hackzoid]

And that's how DUBSTEP was borned

[PortalKill]

ah daaaamn

always wake up everyone in the house when i want porn at night......

[patojoker2xx7]

love these sounds =D

[AKinc]

I used to imagine travelling through some wormhole and this being the sounds of everything on the internet flying by until i arrived at the central hub (in the case of my parents PC, the AOL homepage)

[oukamichan]

i used to do this...

[jimday666]

MOM! DON'T PICK UP THE PHONE! I'M PLAYING QUAKE WORLD!

[NinjahPT]

@jimday666 In my country the modems were prioratized. So if someone tried to make a call, they would just hear more 56k modem sounds, and Quake world kept running smoothly. (As smoothly as a 56k modem can make it that is.)

[jimday666]

@NinjahPT good for you. mine was more primitive...

[MeuOssoNaTv]

This is my ringtone now.

[atiflz]

Where can I find some explanation, which sound means what? First dialing and then ringing, but what's next, does the authentication have such a strict pattern that it always sounds the same?

[hemo1001]

All that to get 5 KB download speed maximum ....

[jvarik]

More like "Remember Monkey Dust?"

[untzbeats]

This is where dubstep came from!!

[SiegeTheMagicalGuy]

Remember*

[Supsup516]

thanks 9gag.

[jompish88]

No one is commenting how the word "Remember" is misspelled :o!

[gergister]

@jompish88

not just that. Obviously the author of that clip is not aware of older modems. 56k is like yesterday and those aren't the only modems with such noise.

[PGWilleN]

When Derping mixes with technology...

[GlitchxCity]

ahh the 90s

[Bucketchico]

And my mom yelling: COME ON, I WANNA USE THE PHONE! Those are nice memories.

[Bucketchico]

My neighbor used to play music loud with his computer every saturday, and sometimes this sound came on reaaaally loud...

[IKevinX]

How long would this video take to load on a 56k modem? hmmm

[uchihakatan]

Almost cried listening to this... =')

[leoghost]

Eddsworld

[randy7027]

Why exactly did dial-up modems make that sound?

[goblend]

@randy7027 that is the initial "Handshake" between the ISP and the modem... it was on speaker so you could easily diagnose if something went wrong. If you pay attention it is very similar to a fax signal

[Tripp393]

And that, kids, was how an internet connection was made...

[DEADKERNEL]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hace AÑOS que no escuchaba ese sonido!!!! :NOSTALGIA MODE ON:

[Kineythor]

hahaha xD

[MysticKemp]

Siempre hacia esa wea joajoajoaojajoa xDD

[Ketsui]

I always felt like I was the only person to get these fucked up noises when I first started using the internet (17 years ago).

[roxonogueira]

ahhahahah I totally did those faces...everytime!!!

[Seaturtle1015]

heh

[332960073452]

new sms ringtone :D thanks!

[aidafowl]

Slenderman is Here!

[GrayFoxGrayFox]

Oh gooooooood. FUCKING MEMORIES XD

[hafsteinn]

did you steal this idea from the dilbert cartoons?

[hilmar07]

Technology sure has evolved through the past few years

[CSGFabio]

Dubstep FUCK YEAH

[suckah97]

0:23 the funniest part 

[codeinjection]

I remember the 28.8k ones..

[sssaaakkkeeerrrooo]

it was my favourite sound !

[chron0dude]

Fuck dude it was almost 50-50% percent chance it would connect at once!

[Superloquendero1999]

uuuuuuuuuuuuhdjfggfdghhjdnoooo­oooooooooooooooo,uhhhhhh

[ludicer]

I remember those days... they fucking sucked

[androjanean]

"GET OFF THE DAMN INTERNET I NEED TO USE THE PHONE!!!"

[Ve2RattleHeaD]

@androjanean oohhhhhhh but maaaah!!!

[spacechip100]

@androjanean " GET OF THE DAMN PHONE, I NEED TO USE THE INTERNET!!!"

[haloCE6]

@androjanean FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­U-

[wingwing0404]

@androjanean omfg yes my parents used to hate me so much for taking up the phone line since i have to use it all day long for everquest.

And i hate when someone call us since the call waiting service will make the line jammed and i will be disconnected to EQ and being killed by a sand giant in oasis and deDing :(

[redneck500]

Are you kidding?? I used to connect to BBSs with 2400s

[themangOMEGA]

@YunaHermy Ponies are much better, though. :3

[iLiveWire]

I remember when I was younger and asked My brother why they made the sound he answered with "That's the computer having sex with the Modem, so you can get internet"

[S0ldi3rKr4s0]

@iLiveWire Lol.

[MarbalTm]

@iLiveWire How old were you when he said that?
