Whats your internet speed/type?

[GenMarshall]

I am curious on how fast you surf the internet

I myself I am running on a 56K at home, but on my school campus they have a T1 line .

It's supposed to be up to 0,5 MBits/s, but I doubt it really is that fast. Apparently they offer, for and additional $8 per month, and a very easy installation if you allready have ADSL, 20 times faster internet. It hasn't reached my town yet though.

Not using a normal modem, you get spoiled, so I could probably never go back to 56K.

Cable. I get about 3.8mbps. Average d/l is about 400kb/sec.

My home cable connection is faster than the T1 at work. The connection at my school tho is the fastest, almost 8.0mbps.

The Stone Age 56kb modem.

 

[WickedSmurf]

10 MBits/s

Just 6 days ago I switched from 56bkps Stone Age modem to 128kbps Stone Age DSL. I pay 19€ a month for that.

56k, it's pretty cruddy cause it takes a long time to download stuff!

aDSL - 850k down /128k up



(Works like a charm, except when playing certain generals in Civ3 multiplayer over the internet )

56k, and it sucks. I would get something better but I live in the ass end of nowhere and there isn't any affordable alternitves just yet

 

[Padma]

Cable at home, T1 at work.

Funxus is right: you get spoiled!

 

[Zwelgje]

ADSL 768/256.
Spoiled? I wouldn't want to have it any other way!

Har Har, Very Funny

My university has 3 T1 running in(~12,000 people), my college house as .5M cable, but my real home is still at 33k, but acts like 24.4. Absolutely crawls.

56k/Dial up

 

[CIVPhilzilla]

Cable > DSL IMHO

"Wireless" SBC DSL. According to my connection thing I'm going 11.0 Mbps, although it feels like a 56k. And the wireless thing only has a range of ten feet before it really does become like a 56k, so not too useful there either.

 

[IceBlaZe]

11Mbps is the speed of the wireless network to the outward DSL connection, not the speed of the DSL.
The speed of your DSL is probably at the 1Mbit range (since you said it feels like 56k, maybe less).

Makes sense. I think my bandwidth download speed is 700-so kbps. Back a few months ago when there was that giant power outage in the East Coast, my internet connection really did feel like a 56k, but it's been getting better gradually.

56k, problem is my parents say that's more than fast enough...but all they ever do is e-mail...

Never actually connects at 56k, more like 43k or so...

56kbit/sec... I've been trying to get my dad to get a ADSL, but it's too expensive...
