Just edit your first post and mention that Broadband is meant to mean cable. People should understand. Anyone with DSL will go for DSL anyway though, so. - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Now that summer is here and I no longer have access to campus high-speed, I am confined by 56K. My parents say I can get high-speed if I pay for it. Apparently, they need another look at tuition costs. -------------------- I need to get broadband. - Sauron (One Ring To Rule Them All 2) Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

When I'm at home, I use my neighbor's wireless connection. At school I have a high speed connection through the resnet server.

I sometimes switch to my neighbors' network(s) when my DSL goes down. Networks two houses away are often more reliable than mine. Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

That being said, I'm only home for a few weeks here and there, so it's not like I'm using it constantly. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

My reasoning is that anyone foolish enough to have a wireless internet connection without a firewall and proper security is asking for it. He should be happy you don't trash his computer while you're at it. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

I thought "broadband" just referred to a connection with multiple channels -- basically anything faster than dial-up. -------------------- One of these words is mispelled. Posts: 284 | Registered: Tuesday, January 31 2006 08:00 |

Good ol' dial up. Can't afford broadband. I love america though, everyone uses wireless and as mentioned before there are plenty of networks to hop onto for free. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

I have dial-up at home, because fast connection at work is enough for most things I need. And I am sufficiently used to dial-up to not mind the long download times. quote:The responce time (which is what you get from ping) is unrelated to throughput. My connection at college also had throughput of several hundred kps, while having ping times worse than a dial-up. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.
