You didn't list mine, I have fixed wireless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My home telephone line has ISDN installed on it, and I don't feel like paying the two to three hundred bucks to get it switched.

512k ADSL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also use GPRS on my phone (not when at home obviously) to check topics on my own forum.

 

 

 

dont know what speed GPRS is but slower than anycomputer connection i use.

TPG isn't bad for internet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd recommend Ozemail but they're [bleep] a bit of a [bleep] atm.

 

 

 

You just have to check out their ADLS2 plans to realise why.

my mate has 1.5mb with 20gig for $50/month.

 

 

 

$50 a month for 1.5mb? Thats kinda expensive, isn't it? My internet (same speed) is only $30 a month.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not in Australia. :)

over 3mbit up and down. Straight ethernet connection to a local server, throttled, and then straight onto the backbone :). Downloading stuff from sourceforge or legal torrents (read: Linux iso's) at 330-350kbyte/s = win

Why did you put DLS and Satellite in the same vote? They are completely different

For 4+ years I had 1.5 Mbps down ADSL, but my provider got worse and worse.. It got to the point where some times I would be disconnected every 5 minutes for 2-3 days straight. I phoned and they fixed whatever the problem was, but within a month another problem would creep up. I also never got close to the 1.5 Mbps speed, it was usually around 1-1.2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the summer a few months ago I switched to 5 Mbps down/512K up Cable. It is $5 more, but I almost always get close to the max speed (so 5x that of my ADSL), I haven't experienced any significant problems, my latency is a bit better (suprisingly), and triple the bandwidth (though the ADSL provider was never strict about it). I wouldn't switch back to the ADSL if it only cost $5 a month, it is inferior in every way to the connection I have now (speaking specifically about my previous provider, Telus).
