Your current connection

We have FiOS - fiber optic from Verizon. It's great, more reliable than Comcast was, but not on your poll, and not available everywhere yet!

I have the slow old Dial up. From where I live, I can't get anything else yet. Not far from where I live, they have DSL. I'll be glad when we get it here.

We enjoyed and supported our cable modem for a long time. Then it really got screwed up, aand after many, many months of going through it, we finally switched to DSL. We also have a wireless network in our home. Unfortunately, our desktop computers (two of them) have died on us!!!!! :( I am on my husband's laptop, right now. The DSL has been pretty good. It is a 3.0 connection, but plenty fast for what we need.

I have cable. :)

Wireless!!!

I'm not sure exactly what it is (as far as DSL or anything) but I know we have Roadrunner. However, we also get our Cable TV from the same line, or almost same line. I'm not too internet savvy, if you can tell. :p

Roadrunner is cable. We have Optimum Online, and were one of the first to get it in our area, cashing in on a promo 4 years ago.

I have ADSL - 2048/512kbit and a 1.6GHz processor.

We have DSL with a wireless router for the laptop

Wireless, that is all I know.

DSL, on the other hand, is a dedicated line.

True to a point, because that is Jaspers line of work(he writes the programs that make AT&T phone lines and their not so great lightspeed service) our cable modem(through Charter communications<not AT&T) is a dedicated line so there is never a fluctuation with the bandwith, it depends on the service you are using now, and what you are requesting. Charter still offers, the group hubs that are the norm, but you can (and I would reccommend it if you plan on being in the same house for a while) get dedicated service. Without it there would be no way for him to have the separate mainframe and server hub :)

I use wireless to access the internets ;)

Charter Cable 3.0mp. The internet works fine, it's just the stupid computer we have problems with. :rolleyes:

I have a Flintstone-like MSN dial up on my web tv system. The only thing nice about it is that I can sit on the couch with my wireless keyboard and watch the internet on my regular 20" tv set. Is anyone else familiar with web tv?

Everyone have a chance to vote on this?
