I swore years ago to never have a poll again however this one is not calling for an opinion, just a simple survey.

which do you CURRENTLY subscribe to DSL, Cable or Dial-Up or other for your internet connection at home?

I couldn't live without my cable connection, makes me wonder how we all survived on old antiquated dial-up LOL

My father had one of those 1980s modems (in the 80s of course;) ) that you had to actually put the handset on the modem itself :D

oh sure remind me of my age dont ya, i had one of those "war games" modems too. 150-300 bps top speed iirc
ok, i didnt own it, but i used one at a neighbors house who also had one of those teletype machines because he was deaf.

War Games.

Thanks Synth. That's another 80s movie I need to get on DVD. I just picked up Big Trouble in Little China with Kurt Russel and that cute chick :)

The kid in War Games, isn't that the same kid that was D.A.R.Y.L.?

No D.A.R.Y.L is the kid from "the neverending story" (the first one, not the crap that came later) and War Games is Ferris Bueller.

DSL, Dial up was hell. If you can, definitely try and get a faster internet connection.

I havent voted yet since I have both. I paid extra for my cable service to get more juice (a.k.a higher QoS), and I paid less of a vig to verizon to get 10 real IP addresses all for me.. problem is.. if I try to load balance... how can I make proper use of those legit IPs? Just track my cable IP and perform reverse dns for it? Dont tell me about delegation. I can still dynamic dns to a domain I never renewed (in 2 years)


C'mon! My vote counts on it!!
