Remember Dial Up Internet?

[Address_Unknown]

Back in them Msn/WWF chatroom days, that's all a breh had, that 56K dialup shyt. I used to play the theme from Starwars whenever I tried to log on since I could sorta hide the horrible screeching of the modem with the blaring fanfare when I turned it up. Still couldn't get around tying up the phone line though, plus we'd get billed off of the hours used and each month was like Report card month when it came home.

I used to had to draw the telephone line from in the living room into my room for my personal computer that they wanted to call the "Family Comp" and take out of my room. shyt was a tell tale sign, but a breh would stay sneaking on that shyt though, fukk that. fukk ass pops used to yank the telephone line out (He'd just pull until whatever came trailing came with it) constantly just 'cause and when he got real fukked up, he'd cut it on purpose thinking that was the end of that shyt.

I'd just hit my hiding spot, unfurl another 100ft telephone line I had bundled up from a partner who worked for the phone company that I used to play Street fighter II Turbo edition with and keep it moving.

AOL had the game in a chokehold.

picking up the phone would disconnect your line

and fukk up your download. things like 'download managers' were a must, cause they could at least continue the download where it left off. I remember it took me like a week to download Unreal

Dial Up was before Larry Holmes.

I remember when going on the Internet was a thing, now we're connected 24/7. If you were able to download a song from Napster in 15 minutes, that was an awesome speed. Being punished and not being allowed to go on the internet. Finally getting through when trying to log on during peak hours, I almost miss those days because it was such a simpler time.

Keeping a stockpile of AOL cd you never worry going over the 800 hour limit
AOL Chatroom

They used to have multiple numbers you could try to get online during peak times. AOL chat and Aim where like the online pickup spot before MySpace. I remember going on yahoo chat and people would have cyber sex. It's all so laughable now.

I got a computer right when DSL was coming into play. Cable internet wasn't as popular and cheap yet. Still stayed with 56k tho.

I was born in 96 so it only really consumed my early childhood , by like 2004 ish we got broadband so I never really dealt with it for a long period of time , only instances I recall getting frustrated with dial up is when I used to go on aol.com to watch music videos and it would buffer or when I printed pictures of G Unit & Dipset to put on my wall and the pictures would take like literally 5 minutes to load sometimes

downloading a song for 20 minutes from limewire or napster just to find out its a horrible fan made remix. Some shyt like dr dre, dmx, eminem rapping over the next episode instrumental, followed by fred durst screaming outta nowhere + r kelly's singing like nikka wtf who made this?
