What's your ISP type?

[coRtALoS]

In preparation for the globally celebrated "Get piss drunk and wake up in a gutter the next morning" day, we're offering a poll this week that won't hurt your head that hard if you aren't able to vote until New Year's Day.

This week's poll asks what what connection type you're still using. While AOL technically isn't a "real" ISP, for now we'll let it fall under "Dialup".

While I'm at home, I'm on DSL which is much cheaper in my area, however when I'm staying at my apartment while attending college classes, I'm behind a router connected on Cable internet.

It's impossible to go back to dialup after experiencing the raw power of broadband.

I have cable in both my houses (family and university), but in college we got ourselves a nice T3 connection

In the morning, when not many people is on, my maximum is of around 1 Mb/second

Even teh caveman is more advanced than me and my retarded AOL of teh gay 0_0

 

[Emperor Pan I]

DSl connection, but it has some nice speeds attached to it

 

[Wing Zero]

DSl slow tho

Cable, but it works like T1+, although i voted for cable. Ive got comcast, advertised speed is 3000k/sec, and it works like 4000k/sec because it tweaked it

 

[Khull]

I use Cable. Nothin fancy though.

 

[Ntrik_]

T3, Im serious.

[stealthey]

At your house man?!?!? whoa. What's the speed?
EDIT: Oh, i saw that in BLACK (of course, so that it is hard to see) you wrote cable. Meh.

How do you figure? DSL isn't affected by the amount of people that are on as cable is. Cable CAN have higher speeds when you pay an assload more.

I have around 1500/386 DSL that costs me $20 a month through employee discount.

I have AOL Cable, and 1.25 gig ram to compensate. GG bitches.

 

[SweatyOgre]

How the hell would 1.25 gig of ram(I havent a clue why you'd use that instead of just 2 gigs, but that's not the point) make up for having a shitty ISP with most likely low bandwidth?

 

[Icedragon]

yeah im on DSL now after being on dial up so damn long (just got it a mouth ago) ports are blocked but i get some where in the 1.5/784 range

I have AOL Cable, and 1.25 gig ram to compensate. GG bitches.

If you mean AOL DSL (not aware AOL offers cable), they're leasing a lower bandwidth from your cable company at a dirt cheap price so they can make the most off of you, and giving you a half-assed service.

One day you'll see the light.

56k, netzero, better then nothing at all I guess.

 

[coRtALoS]

I heard NetZero is actually charging now. Wouldn't that kinda violate the name of their company? :rolleyes

How much are they up to? Last I saw it was like $5 per month with limited bandwidth you could use per month. Basically AOL's old system.
