Your Internet Connection

Albatross · 02-19-2006, 09:44 AM

I am just curious as to how people here connect to the internet. I myself use Cable Access Broadband through COX Communications. What about you?

andrew247 · 02-19-2006, 09:59 AM

I use ADSL Broadband by Wanadoo.

Cable here. I've switched back and forth a few times between the local cable and DSL services.brThis one isn't too bad at the moment. They've made a few improvements since a few years back,brwhen there was a noticable slow-down on Friday night when people got off work and went online. img src="/richedit/smileys/Other/15.gif" border="0"

well i am in Iraq and we connect via satellite, the connection is ok, but sometimes it goes out, plus we have like 20 people on it, but its a huge pipe....

the thing is that we connect wireless, and only about 3 wireless routers...so sometimes that connection goes out...

it sucks really but it works, i was so spoiled when i went home on leave and was on my friends net it was so fast compared to mine...makes me sad

Connection = 2 marines running in a wheel. ontop of that, their short, less friction.

Monitor = a 1892 projection style window. with a bullet hole in the center.

Mouse = a camel spider with wires shoved in his head.

Keyboard = 5 calculators makeshift to present hex code, takes forever to type the word 'the'

I have some low-quality NTL connection which thinks its dialup, but is really ADSL.

I know how that goes. I was out there working on the Communications. It is pretty crappy.
