What type of internet connection do you have?

[Joe Blow]

I want to know whether most Aussie Stock Forums members have a dial-up or a high-speed internet connection.

Vote now!

Joe,

For me, it's depend where I am. When I am at work then fast connection and opposite if I am at home.

Unfortunately broadband not available where I live so only dial-up.

I have two accounts...one for backup in case primary account goes down.

Moving soon and a pre-requisite is broadband availability... not so much for speed, but for permanant connection.

Optus cable at home, DSL and ISDN at work.

ADSL 1.5Mb/1.5Mb

Wouldn't that be SDSL?

Hi GreatPig,

The correct terminology is:

SHDSL (Symmetrical High-Bitrate Digital Subscriber Line)

(You made me look through our Powertel docs LOL)

Cheers,

J.

I have telstra broadband at home

 

[Jett_Star]

Home: Optus cable (I am soooo happy I don't have to deal with dial up anymore)
Work: Imagine the slowest network connection you can imagine.

Would this be two foam cups joined by a piece of string? ??? ??? ;D

Internode 1.5/256. Very nice and reliable. I can recommend them.

 

[ghotib]

Optus Cable. But racing up a learning curve about satellite broadband in preparation for our sea/leaf change. Thanks guys

Hi Ghotib,

Don't forget to check out Newsat for 2 way sat connections... It will make my MUL shares go up ;D

 

[ghotib]

That would be only fair

Actually I checked them out on Saturday - the bounce must have got lost because it wasn't a trading day. I'll try and do better next time

 

[stefan]

Much appreciated

Happy trading

Stefan

Hi everyone!

This was originally a poll when we were running the old Yabb forum software but when I converted to vbulletin all the polls were lost.

I've just re-edited this thread to include a poll so can everyone please vote... including those who voted before. We're starting again from scratch.

I'm still very interested in the results, especially since we have a lot more members now than when I originally started this thread.

Hi Joe

I am with Internode 16g/256 (shaped).

One of the attractions for me is that they have no excess fees. If over limit I am shaped (back to 64).

Had problem getting sorted but Internode very helpful (Telstra problem at their exchange).

Cheers
