Post by: boldie on December 13, 2006, 12:04:09 PM hell, I had to make do with dialup for a few weeks and that was fine. 56k is no problem at all if you only use it to play poker.
Title: Re: intrernet connection, how fast???? Post by: Longines on December 13, 2006, 03:07:59 PM I've played quite a bit of poker with no real problems using a mobile phone GPRS connection which is slightly slower than dial up.
As Boldie says, dial up is absolutely fine for poker. I had a quick Google and RadNet (www.rad.net.id) appear to offer unlimited 384Kbp/s ADSL for £56/month or unlimited 56Kb/s dial up for £28/month. Hope that helps. Title: Re: intrernet connection, how fast???? Post by: RED-DOG on December 13, 2006, 03:39:27 PM T Mobile 3G/GPRS £29.99 per month for up to 3 gig

In Indonesia? <voice off> Check the legality of online gaming Raab (some of the countries there have banned it). You should think about moving to South Korea - a mate of mine's got 100M for less than we pay for 2M here. Title: Re: intrernet connection, how fast????
