...what? DSLreports doesn't do stuff like that... It's a highly respected, professional site. It doesn't do drive-by linking.

The standard car is designed to get at least 300 miles on a full tank and considering the poor gas mileage(<25mpg) for most american cars they easily have a 15+ gallon tank.

25~30 seconds later, the ad banner would come up, but still no forum pages. Another 25~30 seconds goes by, and finally the page loads. Happened every time.
Welcome to the world of dial-up internet!

Dial-up hurts. I'm reminded of the pain everytime I visit my parents. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Well I have never visited it before. I don't know about it. All I know is afterwards I found a bookmark and 2 shortcuts on my desktop. I am sure I did nothing when I visited. I could tell what it was for although I could not readily see how it gave reports. I don't recall clicking on anything just looking at the screen. I am 99.99r sure I didn't do anything but if you say they are legit perhaps somehow I did click on something by mistake or someone in my house came along and went back there.

wait, it's coming back to me now. For ages I have had 2 shortcuts on my desktop for going to a report. I think I picked them up when I tried fixing something a year or two ago. They have long just been text icons, but it seems they were for dslreports and so when I finally visited the site again i got the ico file and so they then had an icon that stood out.

doesn't explain the bookmark, though I can admit it may be the same reason.

That would restrict access to the Internet to the financially well-off. Broadband is still a luxury. The only reason I'm even considering it is that Verizon's cheapest DSL offers are less than my current dial-up, at least initially.

Re: OT: Somthing ODD
 
Broadband can cost as low as $15 a month (in urban areas). Sure you have to agree to a year long contract, and it won't be blazingly fast, but it can be in the same price range as dialup. That being said, I don't agree with the assertion that dialup should be outlawed.

It should not be *nessesary*...

This side of the pond sucks for net access, it seems.

Agreed. No land-line high-speed access where I live, and the wireless transmitter just happens to be on a mountain that is out of line-of-sight http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
