I am curious...
What is your internet connection... and speed?
Thank you for your support in advance.

BV EDIT: Oh, I guess I should state mine: 6MB down and 768KB up... DSL.

At home I have 5mb/1mb cable.  At work I have 9mb/9mb fiber optic baby!  :P  And I have access to another 9/9 fiber connection as well :)

Oh, goody, I get the chance to belly ache!

Two years ago, I finally was permitted to upgrade from dial-up.  I had to wait for the phone company to install boxes this far out in the county.  I have neighbors 1/2 mile away who still can't get DSL.  Living in Outback, Nowhere has it's disadvantages.

Speed?  384/128, and I seldom see any more than 2/3 of that.  And, it lags just as bad as dialup ever did.  The max available is 1MB down, but I can't afford the price!

Finally got DSL in June.  Dialup prior to that since '99.  Living beyond town or in a town in a rural area can be a disadvantage.  But living in a tent would beat living in a city.

Chalk me up for typo and not forgetting. :P
My edit should have been "6 Mbps down and 768 Kbps up". Was a long night and it was a quick edit. :P
If I actually had a couple connections eight times what I currently have, all would be good (or at least, be better). :P

I live out in the sticks.  No phone lines here, so, satellite is my best option.  I've had it since 2003.  It's ok, but that's all.  Not fast.  This has been my only experience with internet and I'm thankful to at least have this.  :)

I have the deal of the century. As noted before, I am a Full-Time RV'r so have special requirements. I have a service designed especially for us Full-Timers by a company called "RV-WiFi". It provides DSL at my home base and both Wi-Fi and (wash your mouth) Dial-up for when I am (as right now) "on the road". -- The list of dial-up numbers is quite large and pretty well covers the continent. All this for $24.95/mo! I love it  :D

I am with cable and I have 8 Mb download and 750 Kb upload. Been with the same cable company for over 15 years and always had good service. The cable company used the CATV-HFC technology, fiber optic for the long distance and coaxial cable for the last run. I could get 20 Gb download and 2 Mb upload, but I am very happy with the speed right now.
