What is your current Internet Connection?

[Just Me Garry]

I currently have a 56K connection but will have ADSL on March 22, 2005.

Previously had ADSL once before but could not afford it. Dial up is just history for me.

Even if it is 384kbs to 1.5 mbs is good for me. Beats this dial up.

56k dialup. I was rather shocked that the majority of people have some form of high speed.

As high speed internet is becomming cheaper, easier to get, and more convenient it is inevitable that more and more will use it. Espcially since so many services and websites almost require a broadband connection to fucntion properly. (i.e. xbox live, graphic intensive sites, legal music downloading, video chat) Its has more been forced apon the masses rather then chosen. Then we have a generation that has grown up with computers and associated technology so the want of a faster connection plays a part as well. Moreover people now spend more time on the internet then watching TV (I don't remember where I found that statistic if anyone would like me to look it up let me know) So the internet has become a huge part of the average person's life (for good or bad) So speed has a big issue. Who wants to spend 10 min loading every page? I seem to be rambling more then needed so I'll leave with that.

I connect at 26.4 I live out of town 3 miles on a 4 lane highway. There is a junction station about a tenth of a mile at the corner of the 3rd mile away from town that has fiber optic ran to it. All they have to do is put in some equipment and I could have DSL...They keep saying they are gonna do it...but I still have dialup... grrrr...

On average I download stuff around 2.5-3 Kbps...

standard dsl in the homeoffice desktop - dial-up for the laptop

Dial-up. I'd like to think I'm not in a hurry and can use the "wait" time to ponder postings and responses but it's probably just sour grapes

what? adsl too expensive? try living in south africa! our adsl is 10 times the price...

 

[Wahwax]

Mine is usually about half of dial up ... 26.4

 

[edwardsfreak1]

I don't have the internet.

 

[Just Me Garry]

I am in a final waiting stage for my ADSL to be fully activated. They told me there is a line problem because the connection can not see the PPPoE server at all.

 

[Mosaic]

Kinda surprised people are still using 56k modems or even lower! Considering how cheap most broadband is now a days. I'm running Road Runner cable and I don't think I could ever go back to dial up again. It would just hurt too much.

I've got a Cable Connection, but someone told me today DSL is better

Can anyone tell me if this is true?

It all depends on your area, if alot of people have cable on your street then you are going to get a slower speed, if alot of people on your street have dsl it doesn't effect the speed. For me, I have cable, there are only 3 people on the server I'm on so I get maximum speed 3.5mbps, with dsl I'd only get 768kbps. If more people on my street had cable, I'd probably switch to dsl so I'd have the dedicated line because my 3.5mbps on cable would be alot slower and it wouldn't be worth the extra money. Now that I've confused myself in sheer exaustion, I'm going to bed

 

[Quantum_Man]

Cable for me. My dad's job pays for it.

I have an extremely slow ADSL connection... only 64kbps download and 16kbps upload.
