Internet Connection

So, what's your Internet Connection? Mine's a standard 56k.

Cable, which is pretty fast, but it just decides to die every few days for a couple hours and there's nothing we can do about it.

i have 56k however due to shity lines(in house) it runs like 28kbps max!
anyway i am planning to get DSL or stalite soon, hell i gto a job could do it now. but i will do it after i build my new system

A shitty one. heh, looks like i'm the last 28k fool left... Kill me.

Moderately fast DSL.

cable rules.

56K. Damn you high speed bastards!!!

just got dsl today. pretty much rocks. something that I tried last night to dl said 3 hours, so I quit. I try today and its like 12 minutes

A v.92 56k. 300 free hours a month for $30/month. It's the best we can freaking do.

56k, but at least it's free cause my dad has a job with AT&T Worldnet.

/me notes that his 14.4 modem is off the scale

A 56k that refuses to work at said speed. Plus Jay and I share a connection, so the speed tends to depend on what she's doing at the time :)

DSL or slow DSL.either of these
hmm,DSL and Cable,which one should be faster?

Cable is supposedly 50 times faster than a standard 56k, and DSL is 100 times faster than 56k, IIRC.

A 56k which requires a lot of patience.

A 56k, which usually says connected at 112K (which bascially counts for shit), and downloads at an average of 4-5k a second on files.

/me looks at poll results

Well.... at least it's good to see that I'm not the only one who is extremely "deprived" in life (internet connection wise I mean... heh).
:P

........... not quite, Doomboy.

My folks have a limited DSL connection they got from Qwest. It's god speed, but it limits you to two hours of uptime at one session. If you use the whole two hours, you gotta wait at least five minutes to reconnect.

That, and it CAN'T GET ANY SORT OF DECENT SPEED OFF OF TELEFRAGGED'S SITES WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO OPEN EVERY NEW THREAD IN A FORUM IN IT'S OWN SEPARATE WINDOW AND IT TAKES FIVE FUCKING MINUTES TO LOAD THE WHOLE SHEBANG AND BY THAT TIME I'M ALREADY SO FUCKING BEHIND THAT EACH THREAD DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE ANYMORE!!!!!!!111

... sorry, had to vent. In short, DW's loading terribly slow on this comp.

I'm stuck with Freeserve on a 56k atm. It is especially gay because it disconnects me every two hours.

We pay £14.99 monthly for free weekend and evening internet calls.

BTW Dewmboy, why is there a none option? How the fuck else qould you be viewing this page....?

Um,

You know what goes here

Maybe he meant people who are logging on from the office/school/library and are too cheap to buy their own 'Net access.

Quite right, Jack. So, pritch, think before you speak.

DSL 1 mbit. It's yayage.

A crappy 56k modem. :(

Well I have a Cisco router that lets me access the internet via DSL. However, I DON'T OWN ANY FREAKING COMPUTERS RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Well, it's fast enough when it works, but it constantly just shorts out (the same thing affects my stationary phone). One of the reasons why I don't multiplay over the internet.

I just got cable a couple of days ago. Now with lightning fast connection i can view dirty pictures up to 13.5 times faster.

Hooray for you, then! :)
