Dial-up Sucks

I’ve been working at my dad’s work all day, again. Currently I’m waiting for QuickBooks to finish installing (on a different computer). In the mean time, I decided to surf around a little. Of course, being a moving company, their only internet connection is a 56k dial-up. Did the internet used to be this slow? I sure don’t remember it this way.

I guess five years of broadband internet has spoiled me. I’m really not looking forward to downloading all of the QuickBooks updates next (around 20MB).

The next few weeks will be tough too. Megan and I will be driving to a bunch of different cities for her grad school interviews. I’ll have to find a dial-up ISP that has access numbers in all of the places we’re going.

    Hmmm. Maybe the reason that it took me two solid weeks to finish my last redesign had something to do with my parents’ 36k dial-up connection.

    About the moble ISP thing — well, you can always exploit AOL’s free 1000+ hours, if you don’t mind having to call them up to cancel about half a dozen times.

    I’ve done that in the past and it was a real pain in the ass getting my account canceled. Plus, I don’t want my limited bandwidth eaten up by all of their “content.”

    I found ISP West and they have a $13.95/mo with no contract plan. Not having to deal with AOL is well worth $14.
