This came up in the NSRCG - 4th Edition ? thread, so I figured I'd ask.

nope.

broadband at work and home.

Broadband at home static IP, at work 10 meg fibre.

Just got DSL and have a T1 at work.

Many people don't consider anything under 1Mb downstream (i.e., DSL) to be broadband.
In any case, I've got DSL at home, and I voted broadband.

Yeah, but they are wrong from my perspective. I feel speedy!

cable at home, no job to go to....

Broadband, 1.5 down, 512 up.

As a note, here in the land of Aus, there are ADSL plans for 256 down, dependant on what you want to pay. There are also plans that give you a 500 mb limit before the ISP starts charging you for each extra meg.

And sadly, no job

What's "dial-up" again?

I rest my case.

DSL Home and Work

Hey, who voted for dial-up?? We need someone to point and laugh at.

You can point and laugh at me as well.

^ ha ha

darn - that wasn't as satisfying as i'd thought it would be

Ooo, I'm not as pitiful as I thought. Come, my legions of dialup users! Let us retake the cyberworld for our own!

My bands are broad.

Prompted by my earlier comment about broadband being greater than 1M, I checked with Verizon to see if they'd implemented FIOS (fiber) yet in my town. They haven't, but they do have plans to cover most of NJ over the next 5 years. Noting that I was still running on a 768K DSL line, the operator upgraded me to 1.5M (rather than downgrade my monthly fee to the 768K tier). One modem restart later, and I went from an average speed of 640K to 1400K - more than a 2x improvement. Niiiice!

FTTP will be nice, but I'm more looking forward to widespread IPv6 rollout—the day I can turn off NAT on my router for less than $60 extra (the cost of IP addresses for everything I've got running back here), I am throwing a party.

Apparently, I'm on T3 from what I can tell. College network. I use dial up at home.

Edit: I was wrong, my college has fiber optic. I just got 96.5 megabytes per second on one transfer. That translates into 722 Megabits per second. It might be OC-12 and some luck. It is probably OC-48. Certainly, my money is not being wasted.

Edit2: No way it can be an OC-48. I guess my usenet client was just malfunctioning.

Satellite.

Luckily, it's cheaper than stealing the internet from the neighbors.

For those of us living a few miles away from the nearest settlement, Broadband isn't always available... especially if that settlement is a village of less than 800 people. I'm a mile away from any paved surfaces!
Sure, dial-up suXXors, but it beats being off-line.
