Banzai Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Well Next week my change adsl providers from bt 27 pounds a month to someone ells to ?19.50 a month, but when I change Im told it can be up to 2 weeks for my connection to be changed over so what can I do in that time I live off the net and im not going to use 56k I cant take that for two weeks, any idea of things I can do for two weeks with no net!

uniacidz Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I use dialup by choice and i think its pretty sad you cannot use it for a couple weeks whilst changing over. ISPs generally offer a dialup account with the adsl, so if you joined a new one, you should have it available instantly. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a friends house and used his ADSL wile mine was being set up. I could not, would not use 56k again. And since he is usally he or I am over there it was not to bad. 56k is just not an option any more. Once you have had Highspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40420_1437839287 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I have cable at home :D But at work we recently started going through the corporate proxy, but cuz I work in the IT dept. I still have access to the old 4meg pipe which is used by probably 50 people max (and at any one time no more then say 5). So when I get home, its like - this is sooooo slow !!! Anyway - use dialup while you get ur new ADSL. You'll be slow for a fortnight, but after you'll appreciate the speed again. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but i disagree 100% I use adsl and cable at work, while im at work, at home my system would be downloading using 56k. I dont see the justification of getting adsl when Australia is so far behind the rest of the world in regards to pricing for adsl and cable(expensive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I go between my ADSL and 56K dial up heaps. I cant stand 56K, and wish i coul dhave my ADSL everywhere I go. But 56k is better then nothing. Its probably good that you are going without the net Daniel.Teed, its too damn addictive and in 2 weeks who knows what you could achieve with the free time you will have!
