Felt it, with 26k, for 3 years.

I vividly remember the pain. Boy, how many Chris Jones mods did I have to pass up for a long time? Even other files, of medium length got lost when the connection was interrupted... which happened a lot for me on 56k. The ISP said it was the phone company and the phone company said it was ISP and both said it was my cheapo modem (nahh, couldn't be).

im DL;ing a game from Underdog " amutets and Armor" I need RP fix, its 56 Megs, its a 7 hour DL time, I started at 5:45 pm, I PRAY noone calles and bumps me. Grrrrrr..

I'm right there with you man. I do 56K here. I could do cable, but the cable company bites so I refuse to give them any money. DSL isn't available in my neighborhood and the phone company can't give me any idea when it will happen.

I had DSL but sometimes it would go out for a day or 2 with " Network Issues" we I could get Comcast Cable, but My cable bill is like 70 bucks a week now :( with Cable Modem its 145 buck a month, I cant aford it :(
so I must DL at 4 kb per sec :( but SOME DAY I will land that gravy state jig, and I shall have funds, and all will be right with the world!!!
UPDATE im at 44% weeee!

Cable is $70 per week? Exactly how much PPV Porn do you watch! :police:

Just HBO Silver digittal package , 76.64 per month. on Demand moives are 3.99. I dont order much because of it, the last thing I watched was master and commander. Cable here cost ALOT!!! :( I could lose HBO that would save me 23 bucks, but if you aint got HBO whats the point of cable?
porn? nah, not my bag :)

Man we've both been there, and I'd be happy to help out anyone , Esp. With Patches. Heck I've got to mail out a CD tomorrow for Khalee, he has no Internet right now, and lost all his Device Drivers. I'm also trying to grab some models for him , so he can at least have a good SOLO game of SFC:OP.

Heh i remember the days of spending hours trying to download something, and having to use a download resume program to stop and start my downloads each time my internet disconnected every two hours >:(. Also the state of the internet in britain is poor, on most ocassions my internet connected at 28.8k which sucked.
Had broadband for about 6 months now, hopefully wont have to go back to 56k again.
