As for work, depends on the destination, it will be via anything from OC3 to OC48 (for now, OC192 coming). Guess where I work at... :rolleyes:

Free DSL, and do whatever the heck I feel like to my connection (can't quite jack up my speed yet, but it's getting there - gotta be friends with the core engineer) - You gotta love that!

At the office ISDN. :(

Have a cable modem. My friend's tried to convince me that ADSL is better, but then I just told him I can't get it in my area. BOOHOO!

(Oh well, my cable connection hasn't been too bad).

56k dial-up that doesn't go 56k... 31.2 with the paid for ISP, 26.4-28.8 with the free ISP. paid for ISP sucks (go figure).

cable isn't available in this town, but it is in all the tiny towns around us.

DSL is available in this town, but that availability stops about a mile to the north of me.

the tech college has a T1.

That's too bad that DSL stops a mile north to you.

I used to have both DSL & Cable, until my parents cut the cable ('cause they are paying it, not me, and my DSL is free). Had fun though trying to load balance the traffic between DSL and Cable.

I think wireless DSL will be there before satellite.
