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

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

I\'m a cable modem, 560k connection.
I\'m with a S@#T ISP. When i get optus in my area.
I\'ll go with them.. Get a 1mb connection. ASDL or Cable then i\'ll be set.

hey be happy with what you broadbands got - us 56ers would love to have it

i plan on getting a good cable connection when i move to LA

I think I will get 1mb connection when it\'s possible here. It is possible in Finland, but not yet here. So I\'ll have to just sit and read jealously of some having better connection than I... But still getting pleasure of knowing that some have worse ( j/k )

But this costs quite much here already. I do have Adsl; but there was options between 128k, 256k and -something- ( I can\'t remember )

I can\'t wait till my DSL goes up to 8mbit... as we have no cable modems in my area.

Broadband.

And using it very well

i\'m on cable!! YAY and i love it!

56K here

DSL or T\'s or whatever how match it cost u?

Note (Here 56k at the minime  cost 30 $Pm)

Broadband via cable.

T3 is da bomb... I wonder if they will make a T5... bwahahahahaha....  It seems that the broadband users outnumber the Dial-up users... which actually amazes me... I thought there would be a lot more dial-up.

They do make higher bandwidth pipes up from T3 (DS3)  but they are backbone circuits usually travelling over Fiber optic..

They run in the  OC3   OC12 , OC48, OC128.  

But with the OC circuits you are talking MegaBits or Gigabits of information.  Like I said, for backbone circuits..  My company has customers that are getting sub-rated OC3 (ds3) circuits.  Sub-rated= only a partial pipe, and they are paying anywhere from $15k a month up to $50k a month.  But those are colleges and really big companies.  So yes you can get higher band-width you just gotta pay for it!!  

2Mbit in the wall!!!!!

i was wondering the same thing about if a connection via satellite would be compatible with sony\'s online setup.  so i don\'t have an answer at the moment, but i will look for one.

pardon my ignorance, but is cable and/or dsl faster than a satellite connetion (starband)?  i hate to spend $700 for a dish etc., but on the other hand cable and/or dsl will not be available for another year or so.  that means i\'ll probaly miss out on sony\'s online launch.

even when i do buy the dish setup it may not even be "sony" compatible, but hey i have to lose this 56k.

damned if you do, damned if you don\'t :crap:

TheOneBillyGunn:
dosen\'t a t3 connection run around 3,000 a month?

edit:
ddaryl:
you want too stay away from satellite connections.  i just got off the phone with "starband" and they said lag would be huge.  he said it could be upto twice a bad as a 56k connection.

the signal travels 23,000 miles into space back down to alanta then to your opponent.  so it would definatly not be for realtime gaming let alone sony\'s broadband.  

what are we too do?

I have dailup and hate every minute of it.

I doubt Sony\'s broadband adapter will be compatible with satellites. Satellites can get a wicked d/l speed but for upload you are restricted to 56k which kind of defeats the purpose. So if you were getting the satellited dish just for console gaming access don\'t waste your time. If you were getting it for TV, and the BB was just a fringe benefit, go for it because the Sports packages are effing sweet.

BTW, Satellite is generally as fast as a really good cable modem(Taking into account the number of users on at one time) and cable is generally faster than DSL. But there are always exceptions.
