[RESOLVED] Internet Connections??
I'm just curious what kind of internet connections all you other techs are sitting on at your shops? I am trying to convince our owner into getting us DSL because we're still sitting around waiting on driver downloads, etc. on a 56K modem line!

Single Channel ISDN at present as ADSL is not available our area yet and Cable access is in it's infancy still.

why are our jobs so interesting??????

Surfboard (1-way cable modem) here. Powerlink (2-way) coming this summer.
Even though it's just broadband download at this time, it meets our driver/info needs. The cable company isn't throttle-ing our connection at this point in time and we achieve speeds in excess of 3.5mb/s ! (very cool, indeed)http://computingcentral.msn.com/topics/bandwidth/speedtest50.asp
The grace of God, thru the shed blood of His son Jesus, has brought me this far; and by His continued blessing, my business meets my needs and I continue to grow. Amen

We have a ISDN which will switch to a dual line if the need is great enough. My boss would like ADSL if it becomes available in the shops area soon.

thanks, just curious because i have been trying to convince my boss to get a DSL line put in, but the provider wants you to sign a 5 year agreement to get it for $89.00 a month, otherwise it is $119.00 a month. Now who would want to sign a 5 year agreement on anything in the computer field?....I mean, DSL will probably be obsolete in five years, right? I still don't think $119/mo. is a bad rate for DSL, but the boss thinks otherwise because our dial-up account is free from the local ISP since we send customers to them. Guess we're stuck on 56K for a while!

We are running 2 cable modems con's. Then I go home to my dial-up 56K, life just isn't fair.

We've got a partnership going with a local ISP (SNIP.net) and get a really good deal on a full T-1 (all 24 channels, 1.55 Mbps)

Wow suddenly I do not feel so bad about a 56k connection and a mandatory 4 hr kick!

we use an idsl line that gives us 144kb dedicated bandwidth. we slogged along with a 28.8k connection until we reached an agreement with idsl vendor to promote their products in our shop in return for a free line. try it with a local vendor, it worked for us.
