Are you or aren't you?

Switched to DSL a few months back.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.........love it, man. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif
You should have included a nice big picture in your post :rolleyes: :D:D
While this wasn't done for you TechZ I thought of your DSL when making the Poll. Oh, and Lost's Dial-Up too!https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
You would think being his buddy and all you could let him come round to yours and use you ADSL :rolleyes: :D
I have Cable at home, and DSL here in my shop.
Still, I only get one vote. :thumbs:
You messed up, you could vote for more than one option...I did! :thumbs:Quote:

ADSL for the past four years now. On the rare occassions I have to use dial-up it is torture!
emr
I think I'd kill myself before I'd go back to dial-up... https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2007/09/1.gif
Live and learn, I guess. But both votes would have been the same, thereby cancelling each other.Quote:

Roadrunner at home and a T at work. We use to have business class roadrunner but they kept having problems with our connection. TW kept blaming it on faulty wiring down the wire from us. Since they seemed unable to fix their problem we fixed it for them, they don't get anymore complaints from us now. I'm sure Business class customer service doesn't miss my calls. We also had SPrint DSL at one point until they decided to change our IP address without warning. Hello, we are running an online application here!!!!!!
Yep, dialup is kill yourself bad, specially when your sharing a line with three others :rolleyes:, but until "middle of nowhere" is considered a profitable location, I'll just have to keep on staring at that loaded .38 on top my monitor.
What about those of us who don't have internet at home?
ADSL at home.
I had my broadband installation booked but I cancelled it because of location problems. I need to connect my husband upstairs but I do not want all that cabling and resultant loss of efficiency and I do not want to use WiFi because I do not trust it and next door use broadband on the same ISP and their computer is the other side of the wall to mine.
I hate dial up, ntl times out after two hours or less and has interrupted my MCP practice sessions when I attempt a two hour exam simulation. I find ntl dial up very unreliable and a nuisance when you have to keep giving your mobile number to people because you know the phone will be tied up on the Internet.
With a proper security configuration (WEP key, no SSID broadcasting, etc.), there should be no risk at all. ;)Quote:

Personally, I'm going all wireless as soon as I can. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
Im Wifi ON.
Wifi is great! WEP is useless, turn off the ssid and use mac filtering. The only time you will notice your hubby is if he downloads huge files from fast servers.
MAC filtering is the way to go, its excellent. i use it and the guy nearby keeps asking why he cant connect to my network, hehe

Dialup at home, T1 at work.
Verizon won't get off their collective asses and get DSL service in my area...keep getting the standard "should be available in 12-18 months", althought they've been saying that for 3 years...
Bradband both at home and work
At home, DSL.
At work, we have a point to point wirless connection with 3MB bursts, plus a 3MB DSL line hooked up through a load balancing router.

I gotta agree with iltu. the internet is more important than tv, phone, cell, car, food (i could stand to skip a few meals), family, people, animals, earth, anything and everything except for Al Gore, because he invented the internet :devil: :D

we are within range of the switch but the thing is 50 years old and not in line to be replaced for another 5 years.
ouch.... oddly I am in a village in England, but the village had an upgraded exchange... a few miles down the road in town of 90,000 half of them can't get adsl because the exchange is no good...
Well if WiMax is implemented properly, it can really benefit people who live in the outer parts.
I live out in the country and can usually connect at only 24,000 bps. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I can get all the way up to 26,400. Wow, we're really moving then!
I wouldn't know what to do with broadband. It's all foreign to me. :p
Texas has fibre though.
at my new job it's dial-up, but now that I'm in town that's all going to change.. :p
So does All Bran :D:DQuote:
