Road Runner Cable modem. I don't know exactly in numbers how fast it is but it usually takes me less than a minute to download a song off of Kazaa.

Yeah, it does.

I have a 56K dial up at home -- and it generally connects at 50K plus. In our old house with older phone facilities and a longer distance from the TelCo's Central Office, it seldom connected at more than about 33K.

At work I have a T-1, which is much better.

In a previous job, I had a cable modem, which was, by far, the fastest -- but went down whenever the cable went out.

Does anyone here have Verizon DSL or Comcast High Speed Internet? These are the only options in my area and I don't know which provider to choose....

I have Comcast. Nice and fast :) I chose cable modem over DSL because DSL wasn't being offered at the time.

It was a happy day when I called AOL to cancel my dialup service :)

My parents have Comcast High Speed at home, and it works very well for them. It provides faster than 56.6! :) Go with Comcast.

I'm rocking a blazing fast 56K dialup connection here - woo! Oh well, considering I'm borrowing it from my boyfriend's parents, I can't complain (because its free!)

I had AT&T Broadband cable modem service, but they recently got bought out by Comcast. Really, nothing has changed except to whom I write the check.

I love my cable modem!

Cable here... Fast as I could want it to be.

swissmiss04 02-23-2003 11:10 PM

I have Comcast too. It's great. Once my cable modem kinda freaked out and I had to call customer service to figure out how to reset it. It's definitely a good deal, and I don't know enuf about DSL to judge, but I heard it's usually more expensive. If any of you poor unfortunate people have Charter, I pity you. My parents have that back home and it royally sucks!!!

School--T1, no firewalls. I can still download music! :D

Home--cable modem. Fast as fast can be. :D
