ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area What type of Internet Connection?

I'm just outside the reach of DSL service.
My 56K connects @ 40-44. I'm looking into Cable.
My old "rural" connection was 14.4 at its finest, and displayed "connecting at high speed" at its normal speed. It was like watching the grass grow.

56k dial up for my laptop. I can use it in the office, out on the road or at home.

If I am going to be in the office for any lenght of time I will use the shared PC with the 17" screen and full size keybord and mouse.

One other advantage to the dial up is I can go check my personal email account at lunch or coffee and Management has no record on their server.

Cable @ 1500KPS. Only way to go...three times as fast as my friends with DSL, and leaves dial-up in the stone age...

Cable modem at home. T1 at work. I have the need for speed.

DSL at work,

Had DSL at home, got it originally because my wife was hired to work at home by a company that laid her off within 2 months. I managed to drag my feet for 6 months before the budget demanded that it get disconnected

Now I am left with dial up at home, so I don't do much surfing at home.

DSL at work. does ok most of the time.

Virgil, at least the prayer line cooks at a faster rate!

I've had DSL at home for over a year now but thoroughly enjoy T1 & T3 service at work.

I use the Verizon Sierra AirCard 555 wireless network card.

Once I am connected, I can connect to the internet and send and receive e-mail.

I can be on 24/7 if I want. I am using the connection right now.

Just left New Haven, Connecticut Amtrak Station -- on the way to North New Brunswick, New Jersey!
