College network, CAT5 to copper to optical.

Direcway satellite

college network here also... blazing fast upload speeds :)

[techniq]

Half the time non existant, the other half is Adelphia Cable.

I have the SSlllloooooooooww Internet connection, 56K that runs like its on a 36K connection. Seems like I should get something, a reward, a tax break, something....for being stuck with such a slow connection :roll:

[Kattikawn]

Yeah, my internet connection...

Blows.

Just this morning, since it's a little damp outside, it went on the fritz.

[fstroupe]

Direcway satellite

Does it suck for gaming as bad as people claim?

[techniq]

....Just this morning, since it's a little damp outside, it went on the fritz.

Yeah, we must have the same provider :)

Sounds like your cable or phone line is getting wet. Probably best to call in a line tech to check it out.

For those on dial-up, overclock your modem ;)

[Caj Darkmoon]

Heh, beat this. At home I'm on a 28.8. The modems 56k, but the line is 28.8. Oh yeah, cower in fear.

[Roadracer_4ever]

I'm currently on a DSL connection @ 10Mbps, requiring the use of PPPoE to connect. Ironically enough, installed the software that came with the self connection kit, and it conflicted horribly with XP Pro. After some research, found that XP comes with it's own PPPoE options, and was able to get rid of the software. The bottom of the XP help page actually stated there were known issues with the software my ISP provided me. Go figure?

OC3 here on campus, dial-up at the house. :(

[silenze]

3mbit/256kbit Cable @ home.. 2.2mbit/560kbit DSL @ work..

Heh, that was for drama's sake. I think it's just the provider. The service has been flaking out rain or shine lately. I've heard cases about the line getting wet, before, though.

SBC Yahoo! DSL 1.5mbit/384kbit :wink:

thanks RR...

[quote=Roadracer_4ever]thanks RR...

NP on that...check the place out, you'll find it pretty relaxed, and if ya need some serious hardware help, this is the place to come to...these guys go to school for this sort of thing, or already work in the field of pc support, tech, testing, you name it....and they don't have a huge head about it...more than willing to help out guys like us who may not know as much but need to ask something.

lol..

I have a local cable provider, Armstrong, i have had them for 3 years, ive been out of cable for a total of 3 days, of couse anytime ive taken it down to move stuff and what not, other than that its been great. Starting out it was 512 down and 128 up, now its been taken up to 3 meg down and 256 up. At 43 bucks a month i am definately not going to complain.

[ViperX883]

Cable here... nothing better.

Like you've ever needed a reason to rearrage your room :)

[siq]

sometimes those figures form alliances for the window view techniq. i've seen it happen.

oh i have the same 3mbit down/256 up

[KryoNexus]

for those confused, he is referring to tenaciouspd's extensive collection of star wars figures which take up most of the room.

ROFL...

[TenaciousPD]

its bad enough, i have all of the figures are archived on a cd, in a safety deposit box that I update when a new figure arrives, and we are waiting on our insurance people to appriase my collection. See how much its worth to them.

[Kattikawn]

Someone in Key West Florida is going to strike it rich someday then. My uncle went through probably 4 complete sets of those back in the 70's/early 80's, which he buried in the sand and forgot about.

When you say 'we', I can only assume you do not refer to a girlfriend/wife. :) Since I can't see a girl being thrilled about that.

[KryoNexus]

ironically enough, tenaciouspd does have a g/f, though i'm not sure on here opinion of the SW figures

My brother is a Star Wars fiend and had I believe 13 g/f's through highschool..... :lol: (Not something I necessarily respect him for...)

You haven't talked to many girls then... or they're just too young, or something.. I know of a quite a few girls into Star Wars.. and even geekier things :)

[KryoNexus]

almost zero around here. for instance, in my computer related classes here at MU, i'd had less girls in my class than i can count on both hands. even worse, only about 2 of them them that i considerred attractive...attractive as in just cute, not stunning.

however, step on over to my other types of classes like communications class (which Siq can attest for) and the classes are about half girls with a few knockouts in each class. heck, even some of the teachers are hot.

then stroll over to the education department and you'll wonder where all the hot teachers go after they graduate. i don't remember having teachers like that when i was in school, cept maybe one or two. journalism is the same way.

anyway, it's pretty much a given that if you take computer classes or higher level math classes that you are going to be in there with a bunch of hairy legs. girls just don't "generally" have an interest in the above.

[siq]

yeah our com class was pretty um... entertaining :twisted:

[Caj Darkmoon]

Hmm... I'm not so sure I'd have too much interest in a girl with an unhealthy interest in star wars figures either. :P

[KryoNexus]

yeah our com class was pretty um... entertaining :twisted:

speaking of which, SHE has won about 3-4 local pageants(sp??) this year alone. saw her about a week ago. she waved, and my boss thought maybe it was my cousin or sumpin, lol

[siq]

LOL... she's in AKPsi with jenn. She's the pledge President.

[KryoNexus]

are they recruiting? :wink:

maybe they'd even give me a good hazing.

[MP5RAS]

I just have the evidently dull 256 mbps DSL *woot* :vomit: Are there any Call of Duty 1.1, 1.4 or United Offensive players in here ? :twisted:

[T-shirt]

Cable (fiber to the pole)
but I'v had
DSL
Satellite
ISDN
pairbonded 56k's
56k
28k
14k
9.6k
2400bps
1200bps
and I started with a 300 baud modem (30 characters per second)
Cable has been by far the fastest, most reliable.
Verizon has said our area will start getting fiber to the house next year, but given their general additude I'm not holding my breath.

[TenaciousPD]

she doesnt mind, she really cant say much, i dont drain her money on them, and since i had so many that the ones im missing are considered rare finds, she doesnt have to worry about getting me star wars stuff since i have most of it anyway, makes her life easy on birthdays and christmas.

Im currently working on the ultimate star wars figure, the complete armor and suit of darth vader. I plan on getting a couple more after that, but darth vader is the first, big enough I can wear it on opening night for episode 3.

I know I am a geek, but I enjoy it.
