Thread: What's yer connection?

I'm on a 7mbit down 512k up line at home and at work. Although lately most of my time has been spent on a 1xRTT connection which tends to average at the 80-90k mark.

Cable, 256k. Oh dear.

Grrrr, you guys are so lucky, great, I'm the only one who admits they use a 56k modem.

2 mbps here

That's rough dude but even 64k would be great for me, takes 15 freakin' minutes to download a 3 minute song
Oh, I also could have added connecting with your PDA too, guess that would count as wireless though.

With the price drops here I couldn't see not going without a 7mb connection. 2 Years ago I was paying $169.95 for the work line but they ended up dropping it to $69.95 so picked it up for the house too.

Don't feel too bad Exfoliate, like I said most of the time lately I've been on a cellular connection which is pretty much like being on dial-up . Just need them to hurry up and get EV-DO here so I can get broadband speeds over the network.

Edit: By the way sattelite isn't that bad, it's down to $249.95/month now here which I wouldn't say is too bad when you can use it almost anywhere. I've used it at a few locations and speed wasn't that bad either.

Put it this way, my mom thinks $30 a month for DSL is steep, ugh. She has no idea what she's missing, unfortunately I do. Though that's an insanely fast connection, especially coming from 56k, $70 a month would really kill after awhile, but for the single dude with a decent job that $840 is totally worth it, I'd pay it if I could.

Yeah, this summer, but it wouldn't reallly matter untill I move to an area w/ broadband access, and that will be like, after college...
