Dial up connetion?

[mclaugh]

I still have dial up and i play on FTP. I am wondering if anyone on here has or has had dial up when playing online poker. I sometimes get disconnected but i dont think that is the internets fualt, I just think it is a FTP problem. I am wondering if anyone had had dial up and switched to high speed and noticed a big difference. I am getting high speed installed soon, but it is mostly so I can watch videos from here or like cardrunners.(my dial up is so bad it would take atleast 12 hours to download a decent lenth video)

Are you getting disconnected from the internet, or are you getting disconnected just from FTP? There is obviously a significant difference.

It would be truly remarkable if FTP's client was disconnecting your modem from your ISP.

I find that a broadband connection is much faster and much more reliable. That's the whole point of them.

I played on dial up for a short time awile back.It was funny,id sometimes even get dc from incoming calls despite having that supposedly disabled.Not to mention when i did get dc,it took ages sometimes to get back.I wasnt playing much online then,but it still sucked.If you play more than a couple hours a week,get high speed and the money you lose getting dc`d on dial up will pay for it easily.Ohhh,and like was stated before,it is 2007 get with the times Jethro lol

Dial up still available?

Dump it if you play more then 1min a month, It's worth it.

I have played on dialup for a couple of years without a problem. I haven't noticed a difference from high speed. Just don't try to surf the net or download anything while playing.

BTW, I would get high speed if I could, but I live in a bubble where all I can get is satellite, which is just too damn expensive. It sucks...3 blocks south can get dsl, 1 mile north gets cable, me....nothing.

From laughter? Or because you feel bad for me?
