Dial-Up and Struggle TV Stories

[Solano707]

Remember back in the day when we had dial-up for that innanet?

shyt, getting AOL or Prodigy in the mail every other day was the shyt. Got 20 hours of online time for free.

My porn game at the time was not on par though, I was only able to download pictures of Krystal Steel and Sky Lopez. I remember I would have the phone line locked up all day and my pops would be screaming "get off the fukking phone" lol. Or when moms picked up the phone and started to dial, I would lose that 3.5 MB movie clip that was only like 17 seconds long, but took a damn hour to download

Then... pops then and got that DSL hooked up... late night creeping and downloading all kinds of filth

If only they knew (and they still don't). My mom will be saying "mi'jo, why don't ever want to come out of your room?"

Yup, every day. I had that napster on lock. My high school had that T3 line and used those iZip drives (the big ass floppy disks that had extra space). Went home and bought me an iZip drive too... shyt I was DLing all kinds of shyt at school. Emulators, roms, movies, videos and mp3s.

I sure tried my best with the spice channel

I sure tried my best with the spice channel

90's kids knew all about the struggle

If you had a illegal cable box or a juiced DirecTV card you were the man on the playground when it came to WWE/WCW.

DirecTV/Dish had more than just Spice and Playboy

We had the dial up subscription so those discs went in the trash

When we upgraded to cable internet

Damn this thread makes me feel as hell

my parents had dialup in the mid 90's. that shyt was brutal. when I had my own spot, I got cable internet thru comcast in like 2002, and been ever since.
