I'm not going to even do the cool speed thing like everyone else. I'll just say 2 words, that put fear into the hearts of those with nice fast computers and internet, who can't imagine living with anything but:

AOL & Dial-up

*shudders*

I spend more time staring at the loading bar than at anything else.

Ugh! I want broadband!

AOL Broadband is almost as frustrating...Especially when you're trying to watch videos...

I had AOL and dial-up until a great thing happened...COLLEGE. Now I have a nice connection and can actually enjoy playing online games and surfing the net. What makes me sick is that AOL has teamed up with Nintendo to be the ISP for the GameCube..dumb idea on Nintendo's part, but thats ok I guess ...I'll stick with my computer games. Americas Army rocks.

If you don't like AOL Broadband, go for Wide Open West ADSL (I have it), or Comcast Cable.

From what I've heard, IDSL is almost as like having a supped up 56k (IDSL is the slowest, ADSL is medium-fast, and there's one more that is the fastest DSL connection).
