Sandie and I use DSL Through SBC. It comes into the house via the phone, then to a DSL modem, then to a Lynksys router and from there to as many copmputers that I can hook up. Alas, due to the very old phone lines in this house the connection speed could be better. When we buy a house it must have DSL or cable, and of course I'll run all brand new lines.

After a very long year of suffering through the nightmares of dial-up, I just got my cable modem back. My subdivision just upgraded to a decent cable company that has cable available for the internet. Believe me, I already had the joy of a cable modem at my old apartment, and when I heard about the antiquated system where I was buying my house, I almost considered backing out of the deal.

Count me in as dial up.
I think that's all I can get here. Not sure what DSL is? I don't have too many problems with it...but it can be a bit slow.

Dial-up here too. They are just now installing the hubs for Cable Internet, so when I move to my bigger house in Sept. I'll get it then. I HATE dail-up, it takes me at least 30 mins to get a darn mp3

Here at home I have dial-up. Luckily, at work, I have a fiber-optic network. That's why I do most of my surfing at work!

Well, so far I'm the lone Satellite hookup. In all actuality at WORK we have the Satellite hookup, but since I like it better than this dialup we've got at home, I chose that. (I'm on the computer at work more than this one at home, anyway!)

I'm a dial-up user here. I absolutely hate it too, but my boyfriend and I refuse to go with cable because of the company. Rogers Cable is not a good company. They've screwed us around with our t.v. cable enough for us to say NO to cable!

Dial-up here - and due to move to ADSL in about a month. Anyone use it in the UK and have any reports about it (I know that it is hideously expensive)?

I have cable at work and at home. Unfortunately, here in Denver it is the choice between two evils - AT&T for cable or Qwest for DSL (there are other DSL providers but they have to use Qwest's network). Of course, until we get a T1 directly into the house, hubby won't be happy!
