Cable is the fastest, and this site is just plain slow without it.

Oc256 is the fastest, dork!

Oc256 is upward of 2000 times faster then 56k.

 

[Saleen Man]

I'm on dsl. I sure wish I had cable still.

 

[Vasco]

Oc256??? How much faster is it than Broadband???

 

[Klostrophobic]

It is broadband.

256 megabytes a second?

...when broadband is available to more than a small percentage of all Internet users...

Pretty much anything over about 128 KB per second could be considered broadband - it's just a term used to refer to any technology other than analog modems. A OC-256 is capable of around 13.2 gigabits per second.

ISDN here, can't get broadband because we're out of range

And when the price goes down... Right now, our family is only paying $100 a year for our connection (albeit a lousy one), so it'll be a while before we make the switch... Even the new "cheaper" broadband connections that are being offered (~$30 a month) is still too much for my dad to get. $20 a month would be right for him.

i am lucky!

56k at home.

T1 while at work. But the computer that it's attached to SUCKS!

a

Haha, who created this font?

 

[SkylineObsession]

Me.

Anywho, back to more serious matters, i am on a very slow 56k.

 

[RazorGTR]

ADSL here but I am assuming it is the same as DSL, just a different name for it downunder here.

 

[SkylineObsession]

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line.
'Asymmetric' means than bandwidth speeds are faster for downloading than uploading.
- Upload speed ranges from: 16-640 Kbps
- Download speeds range from: 1.5-8 Mbps

There are quite a few different versions of DSL too.

But you's already knew all that.

 

[mark2080]

T1... but its shared with 800 other people... so sometimes it is slower than 56k

 

[boombexus]

On Sept. 17, between the hours of 13:00 and 15:00, I will be upgraded to broadband!!!

No more 56k for me!

 

[Concept]

I am on 56k. This site goes fast for me. Or so I think until I get broadband. Where I liev broadband is unavailable. We can only get it through or cable company and I do not like them.

Actually no I didn't, but thank you for clearing that up.

That's great! What kinds of speeds are you getting from speed tests? Anyway, here's a few high-bandwidth sites that you might want to check out on your new fat pipe... You might have seen them before, but I guarantee they will be a lot more fun to visit on broadband!

F1 Seasons (one of my favorite sites!!!)
movies.taner.net (I've got about 3 GB of automotive videos from this site! I recommend GetRight to quickly grab and manage the large number of files.)
Farzad's F1 Gallery
FORMULA one PHOTO
Wrecked Exotics

EarthViewer 3D (incredible software)

Oh, and don't forget to tweak your new connection at SpeedGuide.net!

 

[RVDNuT374]

My connection costs $39.99 a month. One year is $479.88.

 

[JoniK]

256/128 ADSL

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

I've had cable for about a month now... I LOVE IT!
