56K

well....they say its thast but its more than a lil tempremental

waiting patientally for cable to be installed in my area....i have a feeeling i would have moved by then :(
 
At home it's 56K. Sucks, but oh well...it's free.

At school, I'm on a T-1 line, and that shit is sweeeeeeeeeet. :p

I'd give my left nut for cable or DSL at home. Unfortunetly, they both run about $50/month. :mad: Shit, I don't even think we have DSL in this bumfuck city yet...
 
DSL at home, T1 at work.

Honestly, I don't notice a whole hell of a lot of difference between the two, which is nice.

Now if I can just keep my connection stable, I'll be in good shape.
 
Damn I forgot about Satellite el cubano. I guess bother other than you I've only know one person to have it. He lived out in the boonies where his options where also limited. But I am slightly surprised with how many people have satelite and with how few have dial up.
 
I have DSL from Bell Canada. Actually fast as hell and never got any problems so far. I used to be with Cable Videotron. DOnt ever do that mistake.
 
I now realize I forgot about Satellite, el cubano. I guess bother other than you I've only know one person to have it. He lived out in the boonies where his options where also limited. But I am slightly surprised with how many people have satelite and with how few have dial up.

Thanks for the responses.
 
DSL. Want t1 very badly but a way to costly. I would get frame relay if the installation cost was a little less than 8k! t1 would be a little much for my 5 computer network but would be fun for denial of service attacks.

why do you want T1? its like 1.4Mbps. dsl is usually 600Kbps. here in the sticks cable is about 800Kbps on average.

because when I get 3 or 4 of my computers gaming or or transmitting alot of data at once even 650 download and 120 upload slows down a good bit whereas if i had a t1 stuff would be alot smoother.
 
Cable, but thinking about switching to DSL and having my damn 105 a month cable bill irradicated. I don't watch that damn TV anyway. The DSL would only be 49 more on my phone line, cut the bill in half. Save money for more important things, like test!

Only curious if DSL compares to cable in downloading and speed

out of curiosity, does that 105 cover cable tv & cable internet or just internet? when i move to bloomington (a college town) they want like $80 for DSL.

if cable tv is so expensive why not try a descrambler. they are $80 at ebay.

aside from that, how have you been. how is the moving & the new job working out.
 
Cable..whooo hooooo!!!

The 105 includes digital cable tv (which sux ass), Showtime (which sucks ass harder) and my modem. The only damn thing I use is the modem. The least I could get away with would be the modem and basic cable, churning up 74 bucks for both. The DSL is suppose to be only 49 and I do use my phone some.
 
I have the whole Internet on my hard drive. Makes everything load much faster and its very fast when I download from KaZaA. Despite this, however, EF is still mega slow. Maybe I ran out of disk space.

DSL $35 Can./month Modem included. Sweeeeet! Have had it for 2 years & can't figure out how or why anyone would still be putting up with dial-up (if u have the choice).
 
3 months

That's about how long it took me. Well it was a little over 2 months but that's bad enough. First they said they had to test my lines even though when I enter my address on their (bellsouth) website and it said my lines were good. Then they said they had to do something for my lines which took them a month to do. Then a month after that I finally got my sell install kit in the mail. Now that I have the service, and it's been a year now, I am very pleased with it.
 
Used to have satellite type but dropped that P.O.S. and got DSL when it finally came available in my area 1500/128 speeds what I wouldn't give for a higher upload speed. Just not an option in my area.
