OMG Dialup SUCKS!
Well I got into my new place and the phone just got switched over today... not sure if I'm gonna be able to keep my DSL service here :( but man dialup blows chunks... not to mention I have to use NetZero... which really is pretty good here as far as dialup goes but well DAMN

I spent my time in dialup hell... it was not fun. It wasn't even good dialup. The max it supported was 33.6k, which is utter ****. Now I'm on crappy cable, which is still better that the dialup.
In two weeks I'm on a college connection. 622 mbps baby!
