    DUN Users? STILL?!

    Well I know some of you are still using good old dial up modems. Just out of interest, why are you when the cost of broadband is cheaper or the same cost? Or perhaps its not in your area. So just why are you still on Dial Up?

    I'm just curious.

    Pay as you go dial up is cheaper than broadband. If you are someone who mostly uses their PC for word processing, and only connects to the internet a few times a month, then dial up will be much cheaper.

    One person I know does not have a landline phone, or cable TV so broadband would be imposible for them.

    Also some places can't get broadband.
