To do any online gaming, you need a DSL/Cable/Broadband connection to do it.
Almost everybody has converted from dial up it sounds like but me. My mom isn't into computers and everything so she could care less about our connection. I mean, she finally gave me a phone line in my room so when I got on, I wouldn't take up her phone line, even if she didn't do it for me, b/c i still could only get on when she said so, she still got me one. But then soon after, her boyfriend's car got stuck in the mud and he got deep enough where he damaged the phone line to my room and so she has refused to repair the line since you she realized she didn't like me being able to get online whenever i want, and this has been at least 2 years or more since this has happened.
So now I repeatedly ask for a DSL/Cable/Broadband connection and she keeps on refusing me over and over again.
It would be different if she was a computer person and realized how essential a better connection is to someone who gets online as much as me and wants to get into online gaming as much as me, but it seems I'll never get to until I get my own place and graduate college and have job to pay for the connection myself, so who knows how long that will be.
hmm.. well it became essential for my house after everyone realised I gamed so much that the only way to free the line was by getting me broadband .. so I suppose you'll have to find your own reason to raise the bar on your connection.. my friends sister got cable modem cuz when my friend had to go to the hospital, the sister was tying up the line with 56k lol..

Well I keep giving reasons, and she just doesn't care. I mean what do you expect, she won't even repair my original phone line, what makes me think, she'll skip that whole process and go straight to DSl/broadband/cable.
Ugh, this is so frustrating, and she just doesn't know.
This is really putting a damper on my christmas.
Oblivious human beings.
Well I live in Canada and Broadband is expensive, however in the US its cheap, Verizon has broadband for $25, you might consider getting HDSL, which is like dial up but doesnt use your original phone line, doesnt need another phoneline, and costs the same as dial up, however you wont get broadband speed which is 10Mbps youll get like 3Mbps which makes no difference because broadband is shared and HDSL isnt.
yeah i feel your pain man... no one, as far as i know, even offers dsl/cable where i live...****ing sucks..and its very frustrating knowing that ppl not even 3 miles away from me can get broadband

Dial-up sucks, never had it (tho mates had it) first and only connection we have at home is Broadband cable (damn expensive tho, compared to most other countries)

After expensive phone bills I could convince my parents to change to a
faster connection. Personally I prefered Cable but we dont have cable in our town so I had to choose DSL. Well a 2Mbit Connection should be okay.
