I have actually had good luck my Earthlink dialup and have worked for two different companies without difficulty, but many of the jobs posted specify NO dialup or satellite.

DIALUP??
Please give me some companies that I can do QA or edit for? thanks, I don't have broadband right now.
Yes, there is on dialup internet. Is that what you use?
Call waiting can also affect it if you don't turn it off in your dialup settings. Before I get technical, do you use dialup, DSL, cable or something else?
C-phone and dialup
Does anyone have any experience using a c-phone on dialup internet? Any glitches or drawbacks? Thanks.
dialup/satellite
Can I ask where did you get your satellite from? I too, live in the sticks and have only dialup. It sounds like dialup takes forever.
dialup/satellite
Thanks for the info. I notice a lot of companies won't allow satellite for security. Did you have to get additional spyware, antivirus, etc?
Anyone else still stuck with dialup?
Hello MTs
Is anyone else out there still stuck with dialup? I am getting so frustrated with the long loading times. I live in a rural area, and I cannot get DSL or cable. Anyone have any other alternatives to slow internet?
Thanks.

Dialup Internet (sm)
Any MTs left that only have dialup internet available to them? Bellsouth said we would get it in 2-3 years (big wow). I would like to change MT companies but cannot find anyone who accepts dialup internet. I could probably get satellite but I notice many companies won't accept this either. What's a girl to do?
I'm on dialup, no problems.

Wildblue, dialup, etc. sm
How far are the trees away from your house? I have some trees to the south too but probably 500+ away. I had considered getting Wildblue. I'm stuck with dialup too and have lost accounts because I can't get high speed. It really limits things, but on the other hand a lot of companies don't allow satellite and I hate to invest that much money and then not be able to use it to work.
dialup vs satellite vs???
You certainly don't want satellite even if you could afford it. Always out anytime there are clouds etc. Itype is a very strange platform anyway. I have worked on it numerous times. What state are you in? I think the best would be the air card on cell, if available and if affordable. You may end up switching who you work for or where you are going to move... neither of which is desirable, I bet.
I believe accelerated dialup is just - sm
that graphics download faster, nothing to do with voice files. They just do not download the graphics with the normal clarity, they are fuzzier and not so precise. So paying more for accelerated will get you no where.
Jobs on dialup/satellie
Anyone know good companies that will hire MTs with dial-up...or satellite, & pay something towards internet connection (satellite very expensive). I live in a rural area where cable & DSL not available.
I am probably going to be changing from dialup to DSL - just exactly what do I need - new modem? nm

Asking about dialup, work, jobs, etc. (SM)
If you are looking for a job, please read the job ads on the Job Seeker's board. The ads are very descriptive and have contact information for your convenience.
Otherwise, the Company board is for asking about a specific company (or companies).
Goldbird
Spheris has dialup and are decent enough

I was always told that Editscript will not work with dialup.
I have worked on this platform for over four years and for a few different companies and not one of them every told me that dialup would work. Did you tell your employer that you had dialup?
i live way out in the country of GA, dont have dialup but
was lucky to have ATT serve this area. You must be moving way out if you cant get cable internet or DSL!!! Good luck Hon!!!
DocQScribe platform - Dialup works.
Might try finding a company who uses this and see more and more do. One is DSG I think it was but might email them and ask
Dictation Services Group
Contact: Cheryl Parrish

Another is Meditask -Cardiac unless has added more. Texas uses. Moretti Transcription Michigan does but difficult ESLs. Can Google and send email. Just watch the ad on MTstars and MTJobs (job sites)
There are some companies that offer dialup and C-phone connections. Try those! I'm in the count

I'm doomed with dialup, too. It's simply AWFUL!!! Bright House plans on sm
servicing my area soon, after March sometime. My suggestion would be to bug whichever companies supply DSL or broadband in your area. Be relentless. This is 2006. There is no reason to settle for dialup!!
I feel your pain.
