Poll: Dial-Up, DSL, Cable, T1, Satallite, Other for Internet Connection (Last Poll was disaster, trying to do better here !)

[BigLance]

The last Poll I started was disaster, and started a huge flame war and another Poll and more flaming and stuff. It was a touchy subject, I'm hoping to start a Poll here that we can all "get along" and at the same time learn something ! I am curious how many of the users use which of the following kinds of connetion to the internet.

And, no, there won't be any winners or ties or losers here 😉

Here in my Jungle King Kong has Cable.

But Tarzan still has Dial-up.😛

Now where's my banana at?

Cable

 

[Def]

10 Mbit/s

This is at a Georgia Tech, and at non-peak times it frequently hits 10Mbit/s(up and down🙂).

P3 and P4 cpu doesn't enhance my internet exprience. Cable does. Period

 

[SDsucka]

4 Mb/s @ a SoCal university.

 

[erub]

1500kbps DSL connection down, 128kbps up - i get about 165k/sec down, and 12.8k/sec up

Too bad the SOBitchs at southwestern bell hafta cancel my line and then reinstall it to switch ISPs! Unbelievable..gonna be 20 days w/o DSL for 15 mins of a tech's work

Hey erub,
Be happy Southwestern Smells got you a DSL. They told me I'll probably be outta here (2 more years on this tour) before they even think of runnin that stuff out in the country where I'm at. Unless I fork over serious cash that is. They also won't do squat with the 28.8 download speed I've got on my 56K. Had 45-48K at my old place that was even further away from the ISP.:disgust:

 

[Soccerman]

well, I bet you anything this poll will show DSL and Cable as the highest, even though Dial Up beats both by far in sheer connectivity..

I cannot wait until I get a job and move the heck out of here..

 

[Niege]

Half-@ss cable: 256K down, 33.6 up.... don't ask.

 

[KpocAlypse]

Roadrunner cable(Time Warner) average 1500-2000kbps down, don't know up times

 

[PliotronX]

Starband satellite

 

[Taz4158]

DSL.

 

[fs5]

can we say which is better?

I think cable is better than DSL, I've had both and cable has lower pings and more bandwidth.

 

[Dan]

I had DSL for over a year and then got rid of it because of Verizon's lousy service. I now have cable from @home and it's great! Much faster downloads (avg: 2.2MB) than I had with DSL.

10 MBit/s...Here's another plug for Georgia Tech!

 

[TheZaZ]

Have 56K modem, only connect at 21K and in the past 4-5 days I cant connect any faster than 14.4 on all of my numbers and I usually get 12K or lower too. Would anyone know what I could do about this? (To fix it)
