Any C5 Gen Folks have Dial up or 56K???
I see a lot of folks who post warning for dial up or 56K modem users in their subject line. Heck, I haven't had a telephone line to my house in at least 2 or 3 years. 
I travel a lot for business and get high speed access at all hotels. All airports have it. Some want you to pay, but it is free in most.
Am I off base here or do a lot of folks still have modems?

Only choice besides satellite which doesn't seem worth it.

I guess I am a little bit envious though. I wish I could go fish whenever I had some free time.

I live out in the sticks in England. Even out here we have broadband service via the landline. Not the fastest speed I've ever seen (about 2-3 Mbps) but it works OK most of the time.

I have dial up, it works great. No problems viewing posts with posts warning about dial up. I can't see any reason to spend more money per month to replace something that work real good for me.

Been on cable since it was in beta test for Time Warner. Akron was one of the first pilot sites for all of north america. Back then it was called Line Runner. It used to be much faster then than it is now. I've been paying them for almost 15 years now.
