    Default what kind of connection do u have

    Like title says.

    I just want to see what kind of connection everyone has since it seems everybody is switching to something faster than dialup.
    I have dialup and it sucks.

    I have a 300 kb/sec d/l and 128 kb/sec u/l connection. It's a little slow for my likings after I had gotten used to 1.5 MB/sec.

    My connection is ADSL 512/512... still, because of the fu*king Finnish ISP monopoly thingies. It should have been upgraded to 1 Mbps, but it's delayed by two months.
    Have you seen me before?

    I'm sporting a 56k and am not happy about it. I manage to download at least 600mb a week on this baby. I need at least a cable connection to satisfy my needs. I need to go to college and get some T1 action going.

    me too. he says that we can't afford it, but he buys a $4000 TV? I don't get it. I think that he just doesn't want me spending all my time online. Oh well.

    Here at college i'm on something like a t1 or t3 not sure exactly. Now that our new house is finished I will finally have DSL at home instead of the shitty 56k that we used to have.
