DSL but I havent had it for long but I dont want to ever go back to dial up. If I had to go back to dialup I think I would just rather be without internet.

I have verizon DSL. I used to have optimum online cable but dsl is cheaper and gives me a more stable connection on the weekends.

DSL for me. 768 down and 128 up. Not the fastest, but better than dial up.

No hurry and not the kind of money to have anything other then dailup and as for gaming I've play afew games online like UT2004,Mech Warrior 4 and afew others but can't remember and I had now problems or complaints for me on dail up

That is my actual speed according to dslreports.com. My ISP does not cap my speeds. It's nice. :D

I have DSL. I remember when I had 56k, and my brother and I wanted DSL so bad, but it was expensive so my parents wouldn't get it. Finally got DSL when I got a job. It's insanely better than 56k. Honestly, I would rather have no internet than 56k.

DS3 at work, Cable (3M/350k) at home

Raff,
I would definately call somebody if you have an unstable T1 line. I wouldn't pay that kinda money for it to be unreliable.

Cable here....3Mbps down 256kbps up....although Hi Ho's sounds interesting....

Hi Ho
06-11-2004, 07:18 PM
Sorry icallmedan but HCTC is stictly local. That's the good thing. If I have a problem I walk into the main building down the street and talk to the owner who happens to be a long time friend. Though I don't have to do that too often. The last time my cable was down was.... well I don't remember. :) I think it was over two years ago for about five minutes. That little company has everything from digital cable to their own cell phone service. I love being free from the evil giant around here... Comcast. :)
