im not too sure what the question is exactly asking...but to answer the question in the title, i use my school's network, it blocks Kazaa (lite) and i found a way around it last semster, but it doesnt seem to work anymore

at home we have dialup, but my parents are talking of cable (yea, ofcourse after i move to college...)

T1 is the way to go!

#15146

I HAD a 6mb D/384k U, 1 static IP, ADSL account @ 45.95/m USD, till I moved...

Will have in 2 weeks a 1.5mb D/ 256k U, 5 static IP's, ADSL

@ 64.00 USD...

Sucks cause its the same Provider... they couldn't give me the same deal I got 4 years ago cause I got it before they made changes in the new account policies. :(

T1 may be expensive, but it is soooo fast!!! That is what I am using right now and couldn't be happier.

T1 isn't that fast....

it's 1.5444 mbit upload is nice

but the 1.5444 mbit download is just crap

most people's cable is better than that

#15151

I'm on a University network which is pretty damn fast.

Also means i can download movies off other students at 10/11 MBytes/second :P

I use the dutch @HOME broadband cable network. pretty fast. costs me 44 euros/dollars a month. it's cool.

#15189

I use FrontierNet ADSL. I run it though a really nice D-Link router. This may sound strange but my net is faster through the router than when I have only the modem hooked directly to my comp! I use to have Satellite Internet, you know, that DirecWay crap. That is THE WORST internet, I have ever used in my life. I had SOOO many problems with it that you wouldnt believe. Its basically Always On Dial-Up, maybe a couple K's faster. THATS IT. And dont even THINK about uploading anything! Online games with DirecWay! HA! If you like ping times of over 2000ms then go for it!

I have a 4 Mb wireless connection and I have discover "isntant loading" concept. It is very cosy because the only thing I need is a USB external card with a little aerial.
