I live 10 miles away from the nearest town and I have cable internet.
OMG if I had to go back to dial up I'd just quit getting online altogether.....I'd have to be pretty desperate to use dial up for anything.

Gez I take that back, I'd be SOL, I have Vonage too! I couldn't do dial up if I wanted to!!

Dial up is so like 2002-ish. I'm not moving to Alaska anytime soon either.]]>Aug 13th 2008 6:41PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/When I lived 11 miles from the nearest (real) town in eastern Maine, the only options for Internet service were dial-up or a satellite dish. Monthly service fees and installation fee for Satellite service were extremely high. My only alternative was dial-up. No DSL or cable internet were available. ]]>Aug 13th 2008 7:43PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/Aug 13th 2008 7:35PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/Aug 13th 2008 7:50PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/Aug 14th 2008 3:20AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/
I'm on a 1Mb connection right now, and I'm OK with it.

Back in the day 512k was fast considered blazing fast around this place... So 800k isn't *that* bad. Just don't compare it to the Japanese internets...]]>Aug 14th 2008 1:03AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/]]>Aug 14th 2008 1:48AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/
Oh and Matt, I live in anchorage, alaska. I am currently connected at 4.3 megs. I guess my sarcasm failed to shine through on my last comment. ]]>Aug 14th 2008 3:28AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/13/alaska-has-slowest-downloads-in-the-country-survey-reveals/Aug 15th 2008 11:04AM
