POLL: What type of Internet connection do you Have?

[BS]

Fiber :)

[REEF·]

RR Broadband Cable.

Is that fiber?

[BS]

No clue

[BS]

ypu have the fiber optic cable running into your house?

[Templarian]

You forgot Cable internet lol. Mod will have to add that.

Dial Up to small of a number to be writen on screen in basic format.
DSL around 100kb/s to 3.5mb/s
Cable 2mb/s to n/a
T1 = 1.5mb/s
T3
Fiber Optic = up to 40gig/s.


No one really has true fiber optic. Most are branched off of fiberoptic nodes. And Fiber Optic is a ton per foot of tube which for the most part has to be strait.

[Theros]

fiber is like corporate internet... like those supernetworks.... So, yeah add CABLE!

[REEF·]

Oh okay I didnt wanna say to add cable and then sound stupid after someone correcting me by saying "cable is fiber optics n00b."

I knew I wasnt wrong :P.

[thoriphes]

you also forgot about satellite there, cochise

[indiasfinest]

you also forgot about satellite there, cochise
fiber optics here, significantly faster

[Vexir]

I have cable... is that the same as fiber?

[Maxtr0sity]

Cable != fiber. Fiber is like FIOS (a provider), it's an actual fiber optic line and not just a coaxial line coming from the same plug as your TV. Fiber is faster than cable, it'll be coming to a theater near you within a few years.

[BS]

How do i change Poll?

[Jeff Wheeler]

You can't… you need a mod.

I have a business DSL account. :)

[BS]

where I live the community was recently built (only about 3 years ago) so I have Fiber to my house

[StarXploser]

DSL around 100kb/s to 3.5mb/s
Cable 2mb/s to n/a

I believe the speeds depend on what kind of optic cables/dsl you have and the plan... I think Cox now has these different plan options up to like 12mg...

[Templarian]

Yea its more like 6mb to i dont know how fast.

And DSL is around there.

[indiasfinest]

the fastest i ever downloaded w/ DSL was ~800-1000 kbps. the fastest i ever downloaded on fiber optics (fios) was 3.7 mbps.

[hybrid101]

holy! i'm the only one on dialup!

[Jeff Wheeler]

That's because we live.

[mathew.er]

It was a great time at school, when we had 100mbit internet connection :love:

[indiasfinest]

lol yah, schools and office building have REALLY fast internet.

[Jeff Wheeler]

My dad's old office building (an incubator) was right across the street from the internet backbone for Austin. Damn the internet was fast…

[evildrummer]

:o I want fibre optic so badly but I a) cant find where to get it, b) doubt I could afford it, and c) doubt it works in my area.
