Re: No way.

To be honest, I'd rather not have internet than go back to dial up. It would be nothing but frustrating and I wouldn't be able to do any of the things I currently do on the net over dial up. Just another piece of trash put out by our worthless media to take up space.
true that. i would rather *know* i don't have an option rather than tease myself.

however, with the rising cost of many other services that msos/telcos provide, i have decided to drop cable and phone. this cuts a larger amount of fluff out of my spending and only is marginally more (going from cox preferred to cox premier is only $12 or so extra per month and adds another 3-4 megabits down and doubles my upstream). this allows me to use more of the web-based services for my entertainment needs.
