    Currently, I am connected at 49.3k using one of those free internet services. I am in between providers right now. I used to have a cable connection. So what are you guys using? 56k? DSL? Cable?

    Um, DSL at home. At work I get to really have fun with an OC-192+ ATM/SONET network (T3's are for wimps). Weeeeee! [​IMG]

    I have ADSL also. My connection runs 650-800 k, and I don't think I'll ever go back to a dial-up connection. (BTW -- yes, it's fast for DSL. According to the SW Bell guy, I live very close to the switch.)

    Stay Cool...
