only 4 votes for dial-up... as much as I love broadband, I still thought there'd be more dial up's...

I voted dial-up because that's technically correct but the above description is really more accurate.

Well see that all really depends on how much porn you want.

Broadband is the way to go for high volume pornographic needs.

DSL, which is tons better than crappy cable connection around here. I love my DSL and would only give it up to a 45meg connection to the web! :D

Dial up? NO WAY! Everytime I think of dialup I have flashbacks to my old 1200 baud modem. LOL I need broadband to survive now.

Oh, the great days of the Hayes 2800 Baud external serial modem and the BBS - fun stuff!

I had the 2400 Hayes external serial modem.

Who needs 14.4kbps when you can have 2.4kbps :cool:

I remember it took about 3 mins to download 1 average page, and about an hour to send a few emails.

Great stuff :D

Edit: Oh and im on dual 1mbps/256kbps cable modems, and im in the UK :cool:
