Do u have broadband or Dialup. (This is a Poll)

I have 56k, and I am 2000 ft away from the ability to have DSL. Verizon has told me not to hold my breathe


I plan on moving soon, but who know if I will have DSL capabilities when I move, since I want to be away from the human race somewhat.


CPLease, or anyone with the knowledge

Do you think Sony broadband will work with Sattelite broadband. I am looking into it myself. The $70 a month charge is steep but sattelite is the future. I\'m just curios if it will work with Sony\'s broadband access, and wouldn\'t routing a signal to space and back have some sort of lag ??????????

Downloading and uploading is one thing but playing a game online in realtime might not work lagfree going through space

Food for thought

No offense but 300k cable sucks. Sorry.

Ok it doesn\'t suck but you can do better. I\'m on a 3000k cable connection myself.

And nO-One, how exactly will you get this 100mb\\sec connection? Is it cable? DSL? Sattelite? Excuse my if I sound skeptical.

BTW how fast is T3? Why do you keep going on about it?

@ ddaryl: Thats gotta suck. Good luck anyway.

It\'s some fiber optical cable thingie I have no idea what you call it in English.I couldn\'t belive it myself.
They are putting up networks of these things all over the place here in Iceland (they want everybody to have broadband).Mostly the cables will be shared between neighbour hoods but we are supposed to be on our own cable.

Ok I believe that its some fiber optic cable thingy but if I were you I wouldn\'t count on getting 100mb\\sec. At least not all the time. Good luck anyway.








All your base, your base, base, base, all your base, are belong to us!

Ddaryl: If you are considering a connection for gaming I would avoid Satellite like the plague, anything else would be preferable to it, in latency terms it could very well be worse than regular dialup modems. Im sure it would be a great content viewer but otherwise Id stick with land based lines if I were you.

Nope won\'t be getting near 100mb\'s.Still cool to say "pffft that\'s nothing I\'ve got a 100mb connection" well not yet

lol

ah i don\'t blame ya i would do the same thing.

56k here .

If i have luck i\'ll get broadband in a year or so, but for now isn\'t possible where i live.
And yep it sucks!

Cable:D

I just went to the ZDNET bandwith speed test page and here are my results

Your line speed:

8160 Kbps


1000 K bytes/sec

Broadband rules.  No offense dialup.  I had it too

T3 is 45 Mbit

I cant wait for dsl or cable to be available where i live. But, im not holding my breath.

I\'ve got a fat cable that averages 500k/s and my employer pays every bit of it

Oh ok, thanks.

...that dsl 256k sucks. If compared to the newest T\'s.

But my point is, it is just fast enough for me and my needs. Of course I would like to own a T3 and some super computers, and then download every warez game possible to my 80 gig hard drive.

Of course that would make me a pirate ( because I\'d have a cd-burner and I would copy the games to all my friends if they pay a little fee ).

But life is about dreaming.
