So it's no way for Dial-Up Users to watch videos on "Youtube" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 02-23-2008, 03:33 PM

I thought it was a MSNTV thing but I had trouble watching videos even on my laptop and i'm thinking that's because of Dial-Up?

Is there something I can download in order for the Videos on youtube to play all the way through without stopping?

Down load some money to get DSL Solomon.

C'mon, rather than pay for that NBA sports channel, use that money to get DSL.

Irene I'm not looking for the obvious answer, I'm trying to see if there is a way AROUND shelling out more money. So do you know if there is another way??? I want getting DSL to be my LAST OPTION-lol

I really don't think there is a better option Solomon. Dial up just isn't good for things like videos and other high speed stuff.

I couldn't even think of watching YouTube with dial-up. I don't miss the days where it'd take 20 minutes to download a 3 minute song

Seriously, I mean aside from the cost of DSL, what is the hold up in getting it?

What is Cola nowadays? I think it was 3.7%

do the illegal thing and steal bandwidth from a neighbor. I have a friend who does just that

the upgrade from dial-up is worth it, I could never go back to dial-up ever

I can understand. But maybe you can cut out something else, like what I mentioned. Didn't you say you were paying $400 for cable just to watch NBA games? Maybe that's a man thing to want to watch NBA games, but I can't seriously see paying that much money for a sport when it is obvious DSL is what you could really use.

It's more than YouTube, it just makes for faster internet overall. I remember the days of dial-up...NEVER AGAIN. I can be late paying other things, but DSL is always paid on time.

What is it abt Youtube you are trying to see? Is it that Pointer Sisters music video?
