I was wondering how long it usually takes you to upload a song ? Do any of you have slow dial up like me? if so how long does it take? Thanks..............Sharon |

wow that's all, sometimes it takes me hours! , i have momentum but it is faster than my aol dialup was. I noticed today though i had no problems it uploaded in less than 30 min. Yesterday i was trying to upload a song that was right at 5 mb and it never would upload. this has been rather frustrating, I sure appreciate you responding, i figured i was the only one on here with dialup connecton. |

wow that is a long time. I have dial up and I think it too about 10 minutes. I use earthlink as my server and they offer a faster dial up time than most. Pretty cheap too - about $15 a month. I'm switching to dsl soon. It is getting way more affordable. |

Hi Sharon!! I recently moved to an area where all I can get is dialup so I can relate to your problem all too well. I generally takes about 20 - 25 mins for me to ul a song (give or take a few mins) but I've found if you walk away from your pc and not try to use any other processes while your song is uling it goes a bit faster. As far as the 5mb song not uling: if you have a free account your song size is limited to 3mb--to sub songs larger than that you need to upgrade your account. Hope that helps hun! |

It surprised me that there are places in the US that still have nothing better than dial up. |

I live on a farm out in the country Jian. The US still has lots and lots of open space where dialup is the only thing available. You can go satellite in some of these places but the equipment costs are pretty exhorbitant. |

It suck when you have to listen to songs and it take ages to download. I live in a small town, Serian. Luck is on my side we have dsl and I was the first few to sign up. I may want to upgrade to a higher speed but it cost more. At the moment I pay only less than US 20 a month for a 1mbps |

Well, don't be surprised. I live in San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley, the tech center of the world. I had no broadband connection for number of years because I was too far from the Central Office of the phone company. No DSL possible except for IDSL, which is business level broadband that peaks out at 128kbp. I had that for years paying $120 per month. This is in heart of the Silicon Valley mind you. About 3 years go, they finally agreed to terms with Comcast, our local cable provider to provide broadband. I finally got my broadband that was 10x faster at less than half the price. This was about 2003/2004. This country is way too big and spreadout to have broadband coverage everywhere. In contrast, Korea, the highest percentage of Internet users in the world has it much easier. A full one quarter of the country's population is in the capital city of Seoul. The housing density is so high, it was easy for the government to lay out fiber to the entire city and served millions of people. It's not uncommon for people to get 20mbps broadband for less than $20 US. They are trying to do similar thing in the US but to a much lesser success. The latest is the city of San Francisco wants to install wireless Internet access to the entire city. The population of San Francisco is less than a million. I hope they succeed so other cities can do the similar thing. I think the wireless will be the only way to go here in the US based on the poplulation density but it's still going to cost a lot of $$$$. |

Thanks Eban, for clearing the situation up. Malaysia is still a developing country and internet is not widely used and not widely available too. This is unlike hand phone (cell phone) It is common to see people carrying more than one. I have seen a lady friend with 5 hand phones in her handbag!! I don't even carry one. |
