It appears I will finally be upgrading to a cable modem, so I was just curious at what type of high-speed access you lucky ones have...

oh. Forgot to put T1 in the poll....

I have a cable Modem

dawsongirl · 07-07-2004, 02:07 AM

I used to have DSL, but then we moved and this area doesn't have DSL, so now I'm stuck with dial up again.

I have slow-speed access Dial Up.

I know how you feel. When I first got a modem, it was 14.4K. I've had dial-up all my life and recently the service has gone way south.

PZelda · 07-07-2004, 06:35 AM

Cable.

I had a 56k before we moved, and we had great service, along w/ a pretty fast 56k modem...I think my modem's speed was often 53.2k...which is pretty good.

I'm glad to have cable...but there ARE times where my cable goes out.

Once in a blue moon, my cable goes out and then I can't get on for 10 mins to a couple of hours. IMO, it's worth it.

I'll never go back to dialup!

there are pros and cons to both DSL and cable (satellite is still too expensive to be considered as good an option yet)

check out http://www.dslreports.com/ for reports of services in your area

i use cable and have been quite happy with it (although NOT very happy at all with their parent company Time Warner)

Brent88 · 07-07-2004, 09:17 AM

I have cable. Outside of occasional down time, it's great. It's faster than DSL and Satellite too. Trust me... once you get it, you'll never want to go to back.

The outages BTW are Charter's fault. Whatever you do, DON'T GET THEM. We have prolonged outages too often here.

I have DSL. That's why i'm mostly online 12+ hours everyday. I'm so addicted to the internet.

My dad keeps threatening to get us high-speed, but he never gest around to it. Whatever, I have a 56k modem and it's actually not that bad. It's not the modem I hate- just AOL.

Same here. LOL We had dial-up from the time we got our first computer, Christmas 1999 to January 2003 and I was never on for very long(because it keeps the phone line busy). I thought it was the best thing since TV was introduced though, LOL, now I look back and say how pathetic.

Cactus Jack · 07-07-2004, 12:10 PM

I have DSL

Janice · 07-07-2004, 12:46 PM

I *think* it's DSL. I don't know. It's high-speed internet from Comcast. It's expensive and great. It's through my cable company, so is it cable? Someone want to tell me what I have please, lol.
