Some of you are very often here - do you now that life has off-line status :D .

This made me wonder - how fast access you have to the internet.

Vote and enjoy.

164kB (I think that's the random number they choose to give us) at home but super-hyper-fast at work. Haven't upgraded home 'cause it's fine for normal use and I don't use it for much other than plain old web surfing (don't play on-line games or nuffink fancy like that).

Ups,

I forgot to write my own

1Mb/s,



don't you hate me :D

Just joking, I thought I have good speed, and found out that somewhere in Germany they have 10 megs as we have dial-up :roll:

That made me to think and question my purpose in cyber(space)

I remeber the great excitment when my friend went from a 600 to a 1200 baud modem. big clunker right on the desk beside ya.

I miss my old connection 2mbps on adsl and just 2 blocks away from the substation, always fast and consistent.
No internet at home because no computer at home. :cry:
Will soon then will have to try and figure out the best deal.

Which cable company? NTL was giving us a 512 connection for free for a couple of years :) (they didn't mean to they just don't have very good interdepartmental communications lol)

I have absolutely no idea. I plug a cord from the router to my computer and it let's me visit devnetwork.net. That's all that matters to me. 8)

;)

(seriously though, I think it's around 1.5 Mbs)
