The best internet connection.
 

I didnt inclue T1 or T3 cause i could never get them. lol.

56k.

Actually, it depends where you're located and how far away from the "station" you are for DSL.

yeah..
i'm disapointed with my DSL...it pretty much sucks ass compaired to the local cable services...I've heard good things about sattelite DSL thogh...

I heard that satellite has to much delay to make it good for gaming... :confused:

i love DSL

We just upgraded from years of 56k to cable a few months ago. Man what a world of difference

Optimum Online.

I have noticed situations with my satellite tv where if the weather is bad, I lose reception, so I am skeptical of the capabilities of satellite for internet.

i only use DSL but i voted cable cause it really is the best.

however in order for me to have cable i hafta sign up for digital cable as well... which starts at 48 a month plus 40 a month for cable internet. total 88 a month.

whereas i use my $20 phone line with 39 a month dsl and get comparable speeds, pings, etc. total 59 a month.

which would you choose ;)

I love my cable.. Wouldnt have it any other way. Its the best 40$ a month you'll spend.

it all sucks. big corporations charging outrageous prices in exchange for bad service, and limited capabilities. In a perfect world, I would chose cable. best hardline broadband a civilian can get.

I have DSL...its pretty ****in' fast as long as your computer isnt all messed up...but umm Cable is better...:crazy:

It is. It has a very high latency (ping).

I would agree that satilite internet is the suck, it has to reconnect to often. Overall i'd go with cable:bow:

im happy with my college network... but since thats not a choice.. DSL cause thats all ive used/been happy with besides this t1 or t3 or whatever they hooked me upto

no more dsl lovers here ? cable kind of sucks around here

it's the opposite here...my parents got a deal on our comp, that came with dsl...thats why we got it...pretty cheap...
We were gonna get road runner...but then we found the deal..and went for it...

i love dsl. but cable offers faster speeds. which makes it the best.

however it is so far overpriced it outrageous. but we aren't discussing prices.. we are talking technically which is better.

That's funny. Here, DSL would cost me $5 more per month than my cable, plus I'd have to get a phone line instead of just using my cell. Cable is much cheaper, and I save another $10/month when i buy digital cable with it.

digital cable...

thats the expensive part. cheapest package here is 48 a month.

Yeah, but we're not required to buy it for the internet service :)

my ping on cable is soooo high i dont know how to fix it.....i turned off my modem for a minute and plugged it back in. my ping on games is like 140+ and i dunno blah damn AOL time warner

chris

Do you have AOL Broadband or seperate service (ie - TimeWarner)?

timewarner

Check you speed
http://dfw.speakeasy.net/

That's probably the most accurate test I've come across.

Also do a tracert and see if you losing alot of packets at a certain point. Check out http://www.visualware.com/download/index.html . That should help you out.

Same here. I loooooove the Ether net!

says i've got 918 kbps downstream and 244 upstream and 17 hops from hondastyle.com

Use the Visual Route program I gave you the link to. Look in the packet loss column. That's the important part.

yeah to hs i lose a lot of packets.

20% loss

That's too high. What IP is losing the packets?

holy sh!t batman 80% loss ips' are

Wow. Those are HORRIBLE latencies.
Here's a link to what mine looks like.
http://www.digitaldeviation.com/vsreport/report.html

Granted I have less hops since I'm closer, but the latencies never go above 100. You need to have TW look into this.

alright i will thanks for your help

chris

Good luck. Hop ethey get it fixed for you.

haha they probably wont with how TW works,.....and i have to get rid of cable in like 2 weeks anyways...no more anything for me =(

chris
