Survey of SETI TeAm Members Internet Connections

[Smoke]

I would like to know (and maybe you would also find it interesting) how many SETI TeAm Members are using 56K or lower Internet Connections. Even though you may access the forums with different machines, please respond about the Internet Connection you use most of the time to read the DC Forum.

Here at school, I connect though the high speed campus network. Unfortunately, everyone leaves Morpheus open and it slows the network down to 56K speeds.

At home, I have to connect through 56K dial-up, as there's no DSL or Cable internet service available.

 

[BigFatCow]

384k DL/128k UL DSL

 

[soni]

Well, soni.dk runs @ 512/512 ADSL

 

[teriba]

1.5/512 ADSL.

 

[JWMiddleton]

At home I have cable, but most of my boxes connect via dialup. So, I am the lone dialup entry in your poll. At my Apartment I connect at 50.6k. So, it takes a while to upload 60 to 75 WUs each day!

 

[micron]

I use DirecPC 400-800K Down / 56K Up

I don't fit any of the categories in the survey so I'll just tell you here. I have a multilink 56k connection. Essentialy that means I dial in 2 (capability of up to 4 but I don't have that many phone lines) modems from one computer and when they are both connected they act as one connection. So essentially I have a double-speed 56k.

Commonly known as shotgunning

Myself, I connect through one of the 3 T1 my campus has, while at home I have cable... but my father refuses to let me install SETI on his computer. When I build him a new one, I'll force it on, but til then.... :disgust:

 

[Baldy18]

No, I may be wrong but what I was told is that shotgunning is hardware based and multilink is protocol based. I don't have to use a shotgun compatatble modem or modems that are alike. One that I'm using is an external and the other is an internal win modem. I could be wrong though maybe I am shotgunning.

 

[Bleep]

Well I am on dialup with the BEST ISP in our area and I usually hook up at a blazing 38.8, can you imagine just surfing anandtech with this??
Bleep
EDIT: I clocked how long this post took and it took 1min 45 seconds. When my dialup connects with anandtech's 14.4 modem it stinks, thinking about moving somewhere else. Forums so slow it is not fun.

Cable

 

[lane42]

Free Cable, the wife works for cablevision

 

[ElFenix]

1Mbit/128Kbit aDSL at home (according to dslr's speed test page)
it used to be 640/640 fractional t1 at peak, but the problem with 2 fractional t1s for the whole 400 unit complex is that everyone leaves morpheus open and then no one can even ping yahoo. so we went through the headache of switching phone companies.

soni- if its 512/512 then its symmetric DSL, not asymmetric DSL. sDSL is more expensive, but much nicer if you're running a server


EDIT: right now i'm on a 57.6 modem connection in kuala lumpur, and i get better connections than bleep heheheh

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Owing to a move (to the sticks, basically) we are giving up DSL for a dial-up that connects no faster than 26.4 Kbps :Q (the horror... the horror).

 

[networkman]

Cable modem at home - full T1 at work.

 

[Crazee]

Full T1 at work and 1.5/384 ADSL at home.

 

[KCjeeper]

Cable at home, aDSL at work.

 

[Slahr Dzhe]

Cable at home. Work is complicated, but I can get up to OC12 if I feel like connecting a machine directly to the backbone switch or one of the edge switches. Usually just OC3 connection speeds from work.

SD

 

[r0tt3n1]

Here at home I have an SWBell DSL connection, smokin fast,IMHO, average dl speeds over 100k, and its been reliable........ Work has a T1 line which makes the littel bit o surfing I do there pleasurable also ..... I do have a 33.6 modem in the computer just in case .............

 

[fatalbert]

colleges network,

T1 connection I think

 

[RaySun2Be]

<Usually just OC3 connection speeds from work. >

....just....


/me whacks SD with his cane. ...just OC3...harumph......

 

[BGod]

Home: 56K dial-up for 9 machines. Thank God ICS hasn't let me down. Moving to DSL sometime in January, but I've already got my modem/router.

Work: 56K frame relay. Going to 256K fractional T1 sometime in January or whenever AT&T can find a tech that knows his head from a whole in the ground. Gotta love managed service with a 3 year contract length!

Actually, SDSL is different from ADSL in a few other ways, not just speed. SDSL is also full duplex, IIRC.

Rendus, on 768kbps SDSL but isn't active in SETI, so won't vote

 

[cthulhu]

I have cable at home and dsl at work.
