My dialup costs me £15 a month, which is a bit crap, but there's something weird about our telephone exchange which for some reaon means that the only people who do 24/7 access in these parts are BT. Or I could go AOL... but I think not. They also cost £15 a month and are even worse than BT to go with it.
Yeah, dialup sucks, but ADSL and cable just aren't options for me at the moment. Being a student, I have sod all money. ADSL costs about £30 a month plus installation and a new modem, cable costs about £30-40 a month plus installation and a new modem. Oh, and I move out in August anyway, so there's no point.
Once I get a job, I'm gonna get my own place, install a nice fat 2 Mbit ADSL cable, jack it in the back of a Linux box I'll use as my local server and just plug ethernet cables all over the house. Ah yes, then tyhe internet will be mine... I shall be able to download por... I mean, music 24 hours a day!
"Bah! All you poor saps have to pay for an internet connection.. *laughs*"
Well, if I'd gone back into halls I'd have a free share of one of the universities 8 T3 lines, which would have been nice. But living in halls sucks.
Ah well, now I shall return to my fantasies about what computer I am going to build once I have a job... I'm thinking of a dual Athlon at the moment...
