What kind of connection do you have?

I have dial-up, but my modem is terrible. The driver keeps on having a problem. It keeps asking me if I want to send a report, and I'm like, "The modem just died, where do you want to send it?"

It's a 56K US Robotics faxmodem, if anyone knows how to fix it.

I have cable and I think it is wonderful. We had dial up in Maryland and it was soooo super slow. At our library you can't check email so that wouldn't work. I do write off a portion of my bill on my businesses.

I had one of those about 10 years ago. It's hard to even think about going back to dial-up after cable. Plus, for me it would cost $35 per month for the phone line. It would hardly be worth it.

I have high speed wireless, it is a radio signal that bounces of an antenna here where I live then fired to the mainframe 23 miles away, I upload and download at 10 Mb per second, cost is 49 even a month.

Well, I've been told by many people (techs and stuff) that we have a 56k connection. But I am going thru cable. So I am not 100% sure. Download and upload speeds suck (at times) and the routher/firewalls don't help it anyway .

5 mbs cable w/ telephone (no long dist charges within continental US), Digital CATV w/HDTV all for $150/month tax included. My Bellsouth bill ALONE used to be at least $85/month

Comcast(cable)

Highspeed dsl. 5000 Kbps, (average download speed around 425 Mb/s)

I've gotta a genuine MS-Dos 2400 baud Hayes AT modem and all I gotta do is type beam me up Scotty at the C:> prompt. Works great. Faster than I can type barely.

SBCYahoo DSL,
Your Throughput Download = 1.270 Mbps
Upload = 329.27 kbps if the line was direct to our apt instead of into a main box for 70 apts I would get 1.5..Phone line costs $30.00, DSL costs $19.95 monthly.... Also with a single line could get 6.0 speed for $35.00 monthly....which I would gladly pay for...The best Cox Cable can give us is 4.0 for $52.00 monthly..........

Darn, I now have wireless envy. 10Mb for $49? I pay $45 for 375KB/s down and 115KB/s up on cable. A good site in the US to check your speed is Link. They also have a strong section that rates most of the providers. It's too bad there isn't more real competition in most of the country.

Comcast Cable. Commit of 8mb/down and 512kbs up.  Burst up to 16mb down.

Road Runner Cable 5mbs

Embarq DSL @ 3mbs thinking of upgrading to the 5mbs, but not sure if there is much of a difference.

3meg dsl

EarthLiink aDSL-- sometimes better than others, but good overall. Lightning fried my DSL modem last week. Using dial-up while waiting for a replacement showed me how little patience I have anymore. There's no going back...

Don't Know. But its really fast. I did a backup of the total of WinCustomize inventory today. Sorry for hogging all the bandwidth.

Adelphia cable.   Speedy & fast!

cable with wireless router: pc hard-wired, laptop is wireless.

I have a 1.5mbs DSL connection with a mob called Dodo here in Oz....a mob that reckons their internet flies. They obviously have never tried their own dial up...when I had to use that before, it was like the ill-fated bird...never got off the ground

I got a 3mbs DSL from Sprint. I was on dial-up for countless years because broadband was never available where I live. Finally they got it out here.
