Next month, like I said before, I'm going to be living with broadband.

I got this message.

"Hey, we just signed up for the free trial of the dialup accelerator program. Only $5 a month more, and it should work faster!"

$24 for dialup! Wow!

...oooor $30 for DSL.

*pounds head on desk*

Dial-up Excellerator... :lol What a crock... Only thing it does is cache updated webpages on the ISP's server so that you can browse "faster". The connection speed isn't even faster, you can't download files any faster whatsoever. It's crazy how these ISP's prey on people who are uniformed (not saying you are), it's pretty damn pathetic.

I'm not in charge of paying for the net connection back at home. :-X

Actually, they also work by lowering the quality of Jpegs and Gifs. Works surprisingly well I must say. I've seen it in action.
