It was over a decade ago when I last had DialUp, and it was phased out for Cable. Well I was staying in a town of around 3500 people, and this is all they had. I think High Speed is scheduled for Fall though, I couldn't wait that long.

  • Dude..Camtasia, look into it.

  • @DarthSinistris Do you know how big the setup file for Camtasia is? Do you not see that I was on DialUp back then? Do you not get the point of the video? Thanks for commenting.

  • I need to know... I have an old Windows 98 SE hard drive and I'm trying to get internet. Is dial-up the only way or can I somehow hook it up to my router?

  • @RedLink27 It's possible if the computer has an Ethernet adaptor installed. I would try googling "connecting windows 98 se to high speed internet" or something like this. Why are you still with such an old version of Windows though?

  • i am on dial up now ffs it's so slow pc and ps3 only get 1 to 2 bars on cod

  • @Dubstep720p how were you able to connect to PS3 with dial up? You just plug the phone cord into the LAN port? It dials automatically?

  • @Swizzy LOL i have done this with a old-skool moto RAzer flip phone as the modem (#777 on us cellular then username is uscc.net password is your number) then you use your computer to share the internet to the ps3 (ether though lan or wireless ad-hoc style) so thats how its done

  • @MrZiulmota1 thank God you were here, Captain Obvious!

  • That's the closest to Gail Kim I ever want to be...

  • I hate 56k modem because is so slow to load images, watch videos on youtube or even browse the internet

  • @Swizzy Sorry, dude, I really honestly thought you were just showing the slowness of 56k...ah memories..

  • I still have Dial-Up. I've never gotten above 32.0Kbits/sec. That's about 4Kbytes/sec. I'm on 21.6Kbits right now. :P

  • Ah, those were the days...

  • Why did I willingly watch this in 2012?

  • My sister finally gave up her dial up last year. She lives in Anchorage and it's only caught on in the last few years up there.
