It seems now that broadband is now much more common that dial-up so I just want to see how that stacks up on the tippy forum.

And yes, if you didn't know this there is a satellite internet service known as Direct Way.

I was expecting a lot of people asking about it so I said something.

You never really know. Some people may only get on the forum when they are at work.

That would be your internal network speed, not your WAN upstream/downstream speed.

I had a feeling cable would dominate. Mainly because I saw so many people posted in a xbox live thread a few weeks ago.

I live too deep in the backwoods, Dial up is all that I can have. (Well satelite is a possibility, but it totaly blows).


I connect at something like 26400 bps or sum crap like that.

I have broadband at home, but as I'm not home all that much I spend most of my time online at wifi hotspots, such as the one I'm sitting in now.

I know where most of the free hotspots are in the city, many restaraunts and book stores have free access. Beats sitting in front of the computer at home.
