JTello Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Topic say it all, How do you surf, work and play online at home? What type of internet service do you use? I guess I'd like to add an additional aspect to this question, is your home set-up hard-wired or wireless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTello Posted February 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I kick this off with,.. -Cable, from COX. Good service and connection for the 6 6months I've been with them. -And I just purchased wireless g equipment the other day as some of you may know from another thread. I'm looking forward to setting it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce B Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Cable- Adelphia - have had it now for about 3 or 4 years. Fairly satisfied with service. House is networked via a wired router to service 3 computers in the house(2 PC's and one laptop) and 2 Xbox's(mine and my stepsons). As a side note, I really wish they made ESPN football linkable because if we(me and my stepson) try to play each other on live it must eat up too much bandwidth and the connection craps out.

Buck Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I edited it Joel, but it appears that the results that were posted may be a bit off. As far as my connection, I use Cox Cable. My downloads are 4000Kbps and my uploads are a pathetic 192Kbps. I have had an upload as high as 384Kbps, but that is very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataScion Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I use a relatively anemic Verizon DSL connection that gives me a little over 1200 down and 320 up. Not great, but beggars can't be choosers. I didn't even have a broadband option available to me until a few months ago out in the woods where I live.

Jeff W Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Comcast cable, hooked into 3 pc's, 1 Xbox, & 1 PS2(and completely unreliable as of late :evil: ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Your download speed : 5346788 bps, or 5346 kbps.A 652.6 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed : 945775 bps, or 945 kbps. Holy crap! I thought my 2mbps was fast! Whew! My cable company (Charter) is dumping their three tiered pricing plan in favor of 2mbps for the same price ($39) everyone used to pay for 380kbps. Is this a trend occuring elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyVolpe Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Earthlink DSL - extremely reliable service, downtime is an extreme rarity... glad I chose it over Comcast and Verizon. As for the dork-ometer readings: Your download speed : 706823 bps, or 706 kbps. A 86.2 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed : 133489 bps, or 133 kbps. Pretty good for someone who lives in a STATE PARK!!!!! On a more positive note I have all my email forwarding to Earthlink's SpamBlocker. I freakin' love it.
