    What's your internet access type and speed?

    Im curious about what most of the people here have for accessing the internet.

    I begin:

    - At home I have cable, 60mbit download, 4mbit upload.
    - At work, I believe it to be ADSL, somewhere around 6Mbit, although I don't know specifics.
    -While traveling (or at a customer without net access) I have mobile broadband (the cheapest) with 2mbit download (it falls down to 128k when I reach 1Gb traffic, but it's more than enough for my mobile needs).

    What about you guys?

    Yeah, I know. I've still got my old e-Pigeon for when this whole interweb thing gets turned off.

    At home, I've got a 20 mb/sec cable modem.

    At the office, a fractional T1, but there are so many flippin' users on it that you're doing very well if you get 2 mb/sec.

    Only 8000Kbs at home, 24Mbs at work. Never get anywhere near the stated speeds. I am on a congested RIM at home so when the school kids get on at night I am somtimes reduced to little better than dialup. I wouldn't live anywhere else but our infastructure sucks ass.

    I'm with you on both accounts. And ya, the office sucks donkey balls for speed....if I need a large file, which more often than not, I do, I just drive home...its on too many levels much faster that way.

    Please do not PM me for questions related to Konica Minolta hardware.
    I will not answer requests or questions there.
    Please ask in the KM forum for the benefit of others to see the question and give their input.

    If I need to download a file from KM's website I usually try to do it the night before. UGGGG Here in the State anything past 7:45am is a crawl!
    Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.

    Guess I'm lucky, then - I went for the second-cheapest optical fiber service my provider has - they go up to 360Mb download, but it's way too expensive for me...
