It seems all the new online games involve so much that they are "broadband only" They may say they run on 56k and they will but you will jump around and have a miserable time. Quite apart from the 10 min loading times.
I want planetside. Very much. Only it wouldn't work on my 56k modem and there is no broadband where i live. And probly won't be. Ever. Well mabey someday BT will decide that us rural types (i live 2 miles from people who can get broadband and am 25 miles south of london!) are worthy of high speed internet. Yes i know they don't upgrade unless its 'cost effective' but then they are providing a selective service only where they can make money. Damnit.
Ah well. So who here has broadband and in what kinda area do you live?
