How do you connect to DU?

[gmoney]

Just wondering what percentage of us are on high-speed connections, and what percentage are still on dial-up... and if you use one at home, one at work, vote for the one you use MOST when spending time on DU.

On edit: If I missed your connection method, go ahead and put your vote in under "Don't Know, FAST" or "Don't Know, Slow" -- consider that as meaning that *I* don't know. :)

1. broadband

[Not Me]

6. T1 baby!

At work...I work in IS dept, so we get pure unadulterated internet bliss.

At home, cable modem.

[bridgit]

9. sure, but we get our little ole 4meg free...

hubby does tech support so it's part of his bene-pack; at his work shit flies off the hook :rofl:

4. DSL

which is smoking fast today for some reason, no lines, no waiting

[Initech]

7. Cable modem + Apple wireless setup

It's so fucking sweet. I love it.

[I Have A Dream]

21. Same here. It really IS sweet!

It's great to be able to sit on the deck or anywhere else in the house and be able to take the machine with you.

8. Office LAN...which is DSL, after all, I suppose

I live in the same building in which I work, so LUCKILY I get free internet connection. It's very fast and I love it!

10. I am probably the only one connecting

via a dial-up line shared by two computers.

11. cable ... Road Runner at home

dial-up when I'm traveling (a real pain but better than nothing)

[lpbk2713]

12. RoadRunner / BrightHouse

No complaints.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. DSL!

I love how fast it is! I can get to my favorite website so quickly...

Just at home now; I'm retired.......


:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:


Did I mention how much I LOVE being retired?

[lpbk2713]

14. You and me, Peg

Lovin' it.

[gmoney]

15. Kick...

...for statistical validity.

Still waiting to hear from about 71,248 of y'all. :)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

16. DSL

Always on (both the connection and me on DU)

[ghostsofgiants]

17. DSL until next month

Then it's back to cable, thank god. I hate DSL. The cable connection is at least twice as fast and infinitely more reliable.

[Ptah]

18. Dail - up

And I don't own an automobile, or a truck.
I walk most places that I need to go.
If it's more than three miles, I'll take the bus.
I'm disappointed that people can't compress their digital photographs
to less than 40k.
It's almost like they expect everyone to have the equilivant of
a hummer of a connection.

Please type slowly, I'm on dial-up.

19. I have the slowest connection in the USA

Thanks to a dirty phone line, my 56K modem gets, at best, 28K.

[LeftyMom]

20. DSL but I'm getting cable soon

because my connection is sllllllllllloooooooooowwwwwwwww. Apparently DSL is faster the closer you are to some phone company magic box that makes it all work (there was technobabble involved but I don't recall the details) and I'm way out on the periphery of the area this box services and the phone lines in this area are old. As a result my DSL isn't wildly better than dial up.

Anywho, cable soon! :woohoo:
