| 605953 | 2007-10-28 04:15:00 | I am hoping someone out there can help me??? I am thinking about going broadband as I currently have dialup. My problem is that I connect to my account when I visit my sister and she only has dialup as well. My actual question is that if I go broadband can I still access my account through her dialup modem when I visit her? Hope you can help!!! Thanks Junglekat |

| 605954 | 2007-10-28 04:19:00 | Some providers give you broadband and dialup. You are not supposed to use them both at the same time so I suppose if nobody was using broadband at your home you could use your dialup at somebody else's place. Xnet gives both - not sure about other ISPs. | johnd (85) | ||

Thanks Junglekat It would depend on your ISP, so you would need to contact them . When I was with Slugshot, they allowed it, but you had to have your broandband connection off, as they only allowed one user access at a time on an account, whether it be dialup or broadband . |

| 605958 | 2007-10-29 01:28:00 | You can access any site from dial-up or broadband including Webmail. You'll just have to wait longer on dial up. | beeswax34 (63) | ||

The way the post was written(as the English isn't great) the post could be interpreted in different ways. Eg, My actual question is that if I go broadband can I still access my account through her dialup modem when I visit her? I interpreted this to mean, could they access their own ISPs account that they pay for, through another dialup modem in a different location, if they had a broadband connection. For example, if they didn't want the other person to be billed for their internet usage. |

The terminology and quality of explanation aren't that great but thats not uncommon for people who aren't familiar with computers . You don't even know that Chills correct as the OP is yet to respond . It could be that when visiting the sister they don't want to incur extra costs on her account so choose to use there own . |
