Solve : Favored Internet Connection Method?

Answer»

Ok everyone here ovibiously has internet. but wat is your favored type of Internet Connection Method(we'll call it ICM since it is so long to type that)
?

You are pulling my leg if you choose Dial-Up.

DSL(i have this), Cable and Sattelite fast and affordable.

You can vote twice(one for the ICM you have and the second you wish you had)

Sorry Calum i had to edit something with the poll. Well, as of now I have DSL from Verizon. I used to have cable a few years ago from Adelphia, or what is now Comcast. I wish I still had cable as it is much faster than the DSL I have now. Though, Verizon has much more reliable service than Adelphia ever did. The internet would seem to go out randomly daily.At least you didnt choose Dial-Up i have dialup and a 12 year old 56K aztec modem, i chose t3 cause im a speed demonI chose T3 because what I really want is OC768 fiber to the premise.

I have cable, but I think it's overpriced.What connection do I favor? T3. Although T3 would be optimal most users aren't going to be able to get that type of connection at their home, even for a home business. Personally my favorite would be Cable. I've had all of the above mentioned connections (except T3) and overall have been most happy with Cable. Although really like the upload of a T1.

I also added Wi-Fi/WiMAX and Fiber optic to your list. BACK at home, I use Wireless (about 32MBps, signal strength Very Good)
Right Now, Cable.Actually I'd like fibre optic.
I have an 8mbps ADSL connection right now which I'm happy with, but we don't seem to get crazy SPEEDS here in the UK like you can in the US.I have Virginmedia's cable 20 Mbit/sec (down) 768 Kbit/sec (up) and I,m fairly happy with it except for the "traffic management", where if you download 3 GB after 4:30 PM they cut your speed to 25% for 2 hours.
Sounds pretty good, but I dislike the idea of having my speed cut.
At the minute I have no cap, subject to fair use, and haven't been told to use it less yet despite sometimes downloading a very large amount of data, say over 100Gb in a month, for various reasons.
Also it's cheap which is the main reason we have this connection.
Would be nice to be able to get 100mbps like Zylstra does.Virginmedia are trialling a 50 Mbit/sec service with traffic management if you download 10 GB between 4 PM and 9PM. I don't know if I made clear that the traffic management consists of reducing your DL speed to 25% for a maximum period of 5 hours. There is no cap on the amount of data you can download, and if you stay outside the traffic management period, you can download "all you can eat" at top speed.
I see what you mean, it's still a kind of cap but not as restrictive.
Most of the downloads from me are usually between 9 and 5, as that's when I'm at college so I leave them running. After that I'm using my PC so I'm not usually downloading huge amounts of stuff.
Any IDEAS on how much that service will be?DSL is a good internet connection. Quote from: Calum on July 06, 2008, 06:36:39 AM

People on the virginmedia.discussion.broadband newsgroup are talking about £47 per month.
