Dialup is sufficient

The dialup Dilemmas letter from P Smith (PCW October 2007, Letters) struck a chord with me. I have an 8am to 6pm, Mon to Fri dialup connection which costs £4.99 a month from Tiscali. I am retired so these restricted hours are ok for me.

I don't download video, but do use the internet about 20 hours per week. Downloads do take a long time, sometimes hours, but I have lunch, work off-line, or read PCW, during the download. To go broadband would cost me an extra £120 per year. I can buy a lot of software, or wine, for £120 a year.

I know which I prefer.
