I have dial up :( Can't have DSL until I get a job to pay for it (i'm the only 'net user at my house :P) ...but I only use it to connect, firefox speeds up the browsing somewhat ;)

I have both. Personally, dial up wasn't bad in my area... We just got DSL a few weeks ago.

YAY! I just activated it and boy does it feel fast now! I love broadband and I don't even have the top speed one. This is fine and doesn't cost me 27 pounds a month or what ever it is it's only 17.

*feels left out* I still have dial up. I hate it. Sooooo slooow...disconnects you a lot...and when you've got a crappy phone line, it just adds to it. Heh. :(

my connection is at least a T1- they said at some point that dorms have a T1 connection, but there's no way a single T1 would support all the residents. they may have a T1 for each building or I think they may actually have multiple T3 lines for all the dorms. and I've heard that academic buildings have an OC-12 connection to the city's supercomputing center. from there I have no idea what kind of insane connection they have :P

all I know is that they have absolutely no shortage of bandwidth, particularly to their network, from within the academic buildings. and why, when they have that, dorms' Internet access goes through AT&T (I think), I have no idea. but it's still crazy fast :P
