Sounds like the Internet in the 90s.
Nah, I had a 14400 bauds modem and even then it was never this slow
I went to the dread forum and maybe got 4 page loads in 15 minutes
simply unusable unless you really really need it and already know exactly what you need, where it is, and how to click as few links as possible to get there. And even then, reading single threads is an hours long task.
Modem starts dialing up. Everything is going fine, attempting 28.8k negotiation... failed. Okay, now I'm listening to 19.2k negotiation... failed again? Ugh, ok, 14.4k... no? Jesus fuck. Please let me at least have 9600...
Edit: typoes
....ah phew, at least its 9600 so I can finally ...CARRIER LOST. Ah fuck it.
