Your current connection

I thought it would be fun to see who has a dialup connection or something faster. I'm also including the names of those responding.

Charter 10 Meg with VOIP and cable.
Wireless routers in the house for the other 4 comps from the main hub and seperate 10 meg for the mainframe server.

[Lady's Human]

DSL with wireless LAN for the comps.

Those darn gnomes ... i need to get mine to bring my Packets faster, my intarweb has been a little slow as of late


Note: Just to clairify the GnomeTheory, a packet in regards to Internet terms is a bundle of data thats formatted and transmitted across the net. The GnomeTheory is that Gnomes run the internet, and take my data packets one by one from the Intarweb right to my computer.

I have DSL light but there are days it runs like dial up or completely stops! All it has to do is rain and my internet STOPS.. I am so aggervated with it that I am thinking about getting cable but I really don't want cable.. Everytime they come out to connect or disconnect someone else close to me, they screw mine up and then it takes them a week to 10 days to get back out here to fix it.

We have cable. We tried using wireless lan for all the computers, but it never worked right. Something bizarre about this old, old house maybe. So now they are all run on CAT5 cable. We have endless problems with our cable. But the only alternative out here in the boonies is dial-up and that was worse.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Cable with wireless

[Alysser]

DSL with wireless.

[catnapper]

Cable but it doesn't seem any faster than the DSL was (only more expensive ) The cable guy said it was because most computers aren't fast enough to keep up with the speeds.... so then its basically useless, right?

[Daisy and Delilah]

DSL--that's all I know to call it. Gosh am I still living in the 18th century?

[critter crazy]

Cable here!

The speed of a cable internet connection fluctuates greatly.

They run common lines to many houses (The hocks on the street are hubs, rather than discrete line connections), and your connection speed is determined by how many people are currently using the service and how much they are downloading.

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