I live out in the country and
I initially could only have satellite out here in BFE. It cost me 60 bucks a month for mediocre service. It was faster than dial-up but still not very fast. You have to deal with the weather. I went through Hughesnet and they have a broadband fair access thing where they only give you x amount of broadband per 24 hours and if you exceed that, your internet is so slow you might as well be on dial up and that lasts for 24 hours until your account rejuvinates itself. It was such crap.
We recently got AT&T out here. We get local phone, unlimited long distance, and DSL internet including wireless throughout the house for like 65 bucks a month. Way faster than Hughes.net ever was even on a sun shiny day with no clouds in the sky.
We literally saved ourselves 50 bucks a month going through AT&T for our phone and internet services.
What part of the country do you live?
That is really very, very low. The hospitals in California pay $17 to $25 an hour.
I agree... it depends on where in the country you live....
I usually figure what they are paying per person for dinner and then give that as a gift times the number of people in my family who are attending. I also think it depends on how well you know the person. A gift should be a personal decision. The bride and groom should have invited you b/c they want you there not b/c of the gift they are expecting from you.
I live in a quiet country neighborhood sm
but it is 6 a.m. and the birdies have started waking up. So loud!!
I guess it all depends on what part of the country you live.
I could not live on $2000 a month. Our house payment is more than that, not including electric, cable, car, etc. One day we will retire down south!!
We live in the country in the south - been using it for years with kids and pets - no worries or pro

I live in PA. I dont have Ipay. I got the actual check in the mail not on direct deposit. It said
they miscalculated the lines and sorry for the inconvenience. I have been on DQS for 2 years and now they send a check for miscalculating the lines.
Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.

Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are
new. I betcha.
If you dont try to fill in blank or research, dont

DIALUP??
Please give me some companies that I can do QA or edit for? thanks, I don't have broadband right now.
Dialup
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.
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.
The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the
reports they listen to quite frankly.
If you dont want to read a thread, then dont.

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?
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

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)
why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion. lovely trees and lakes all around. maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall. but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
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.
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution. That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks. Population is dense and near manufacturing. So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend. There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others. Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas. You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas? They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution. I don't know. I didn't stay long enough to test the theory. My mental and physical health is way too important to me.
I know they live a long time, so if there is a chance they will out live you - sm
make sure you make provisions for them in your will. I have only had cockatiels and some finches, so don't really know anything about the bigger birds. I love African Grey's but they are very expensive.
Most Dr. dont care and dont know how they get

Since dont know of any cars that dont use

Live and let live. Don't force your lifestyle on me.

I used to live in MN now I live in MS and they were both cold last night!
Will take MS cold over MN cold any day, and I don't miss the snow. I miss the Mall of America, though!
I live in PA, can I help? If they are close to where I live, I would go check them out for ya!
Where in PA is this company?
I dont know. I didnt care then and I dont care now.
Just me
You must live where I live. I ran into the same sort of SM
situation when I was the president-elect of the local chapter and the VP-elect of the state chapter. I bailed out. There was no fighting it.
LOL! Don't live in NH. Live in ConnectiTAX. LOL NM

This country has....
more safety nets than almost anywhere else on earth. There are food stamps, WIC, food pantries, missions, churches, etc. I don't believe there are policies in place to purposely make sure children go to bed hungry. There MUST be some personal responsibility here. I don't hear much out of you along that line, just blame. CEOs, big corporations, blah blah blah
what right do we have to tell another country what to do?

What Country do you come from?
You don't sound like you come from the USA.
Isn't this the same country that
our young men gave their lives for back in the 60s and early 70s, in order to fight communism, and now is a communist country? These greedy companies would send work to a Taliban country if they thought they could save a buck! They are causing the downfall of the USA.
You have obviously never BEEN to a 3rd world country.

R we talking about the same country???
He's cut everything from education to welfare to finanal aid to.....and so on ad nauseum...read a paper now and then.
