    assalamu 'alaikum,

    I've been on optus cable for nearly a year now and due to my brothers overuse of our account it is now reduced to 28.8k (does Optus think we still live in the Stone Age?) it reminds me of all those poor souls on 56k. Soon insha'Allah I too will be on 56k instead of cable and am not looking forward to it. However, I was wondering whether the percentage of people using dialup is still large. And how do you people survive on it? I've gotten so used to instant loadups that I'm not looking forward to 56k.

    wassalamu alaikum

    Alhamdulillah, back on cable. Not looking forward to 56.6k in Saudi though. Khair insha'Allah.

    A tip if you ever get stuck on 28.8k - turn your pictures off.
