Benheck.com Podcast Dial-Up Edition

Post by Bay_Wolf »

I decided to take some time and "downgrade" the podcast to 16kbs and reduced the size of it for the poor people who still have dial-up. (Like me at home, I downloaded it at school :lol: ) So, as of right now I don't have anywhere to upload it to except megaupload and the link is below if anyone can download it and upload it to a webhost that they have I would greatly appreciate it. It's around 7.82 mb in size so not terrible on the dial-up maybe a half hour or so to download. Anyway thought I would share it and it would be better if ben could upload it to the Podcast site so that more people would know about it.

If you want to put it on a real web host, try Google Pages. You get 100mb to play with.

Why do you still have dial-up? Unless you're too far away from the phone company's box to get DSL and don't get cable there's no excuse. You can get cheap DSl for $15 a month. :P

Well one reason could be that they don't get DSL Service in the area and their only choices are Cable and 56k. Those were my choices.

Of course I have cable though, No way in Hell I will ever go back to AOL.

Well I live around 15 miles out of a small town so I cannot even get cable out where I am, which totally sucks balls. But oh well. And I won't do the google pages just yet unless I see some interest in me continuing to do this.

Wow. :shock: We could get business-class DSL from Verizon for that price.

It also depends on where you are. I'm up here around Boston and Providence, the infrastructure is dense and there aren't many dead spots. Depending on where you are, DSL might be harder to get.

It must also depend on your phone company.

Using a bluetooth-enabled laptop, and my cellphone as a modem, on nights&weekends I get free dial-up anywhere, so why not? NetZero's free plan isn't that bad. 10 free hours of internet is fine for browsing nightly like I do, I use cable when I'm downloading stuff or watching videos.
