I got a bellsouth cable modem 12/96, now using directtv dsl. Just curious to see how long people have had high speed internet access.

I still have 28.8K dial up at home but I've had T3 access at work for the last 6 months.

I've had DSL since October 1999, was one of the first on my block to get it.

I hate how expensive it is but could never live without it.

I've payed for it for maybe 9 months, but I haven't had it for that long.....I was out of internet for 27 hours ending about 46 minutes ago. Damned switching IP addresses on me!

October of last year. Been great ever since. It really changes the internet from a dial up.
