ADSL, 256Kbit downstream / 128kbit upstream. Might get a 512/512 (still adsl) as I plan to make my own web-server soon.

Would satellite be a option for you?

In my "program house" on campus (which is owned and run by students) we don't have a university ethernet connection so we have Verizon Business DSL at 1.5Mbps. We ordered 7.1Mbps but the idiots at Verizon never figured out how to get that to us. Half of the Verizon people we'd call would say you do have 7.1 and the other half would say they're working on it. Idiots.

Rogers@Home cable.. not sure of the actual throughput.. it's OK when it's not "PrimeTime".

1500kbps/128kbps cable... It used to be 5000kbps/128kbps before @Home bite the dust and AT&T took over.

I got quoted for two way at £100/month, for 256 down, 96 up........but with the delay's that they bring (3000+), wouldn't be worth it. :(

<< 10mb up 10 mb down T-1. >>



T1's cap out at 1.5Mbps, you just running multiple lines?
