Reflections on DSL

After 18 months or so (since SBC did a deal with Yahoo after buying Prodigy) of fighting dialup crashes 8-10 times a day, the ability to jump around without having to redial and then connect at speeds as slow as 9600bps is mah-vel-ous. I wonder if part of this plan means I get dialup as a redundant method for those times when DSL might go down.

  1. When we first got cable (after years of slow dial-up in Iceland, where we were competing with everyone else on base for a couple of phone lines, ergo it was often busy as well as slow and prone to disconnecting you) it was truly heaven. I kept checking for wings and a harp … this was too good to be true! 🙂
