I only use a 56K modem, dial-up, pre-paid inetrnet card. The transferring of datas when downloading is quite OK for me, I don't dream of having the dsl system on my PC, quite expensive too. the reason why I was able to transfer datas that fast is because I surf the net from 1-6 am local time . . . |

What 3G operators such as Three, should do is have a data only service which will allow broadband access on the move for people with laptops and will hopefully give people in remote locations broadband.
Does anyone know how fast the connection speed of Three is? |

By the way folks, I heard that the 'fastest' way to connect/transfer/download etc. etc. datas from the net is when using the T1, T2, T3 connection - of course, I am not pertaining here to Governor Schwarzenegger's Terminator movies, can any individual expound more on this? They say that this system is 10x faster than the DSL ??? |

T connections tend to be used by business and education. My college is running a T3, shared between about 500 computers or more, and when at peak usage you still get download speeds of 200kbps!
Im currently using ISDN at 64k, and its utter arse. The trigger for my local exchange is 250, and weve only got 43 
As soon as its enabled, its 2 meg time for me! |

don't know if this is broaband or ADSL, but I have my speed at 768kbps or 76,8kb/s.. fast enough for me
a friend of mine have 3 broadband lines coming into his computer. one is running at 3mb/s ( yes, MEGABYTES and not BITS!!) second at 2mb/s and the third one at 1.5mb/s... if you cout them together he is running at 6.5mb/s... that's what I call broadband...

What would be the point of that, unless he's hosting a server on it?

@snaphiss: well, I think it's pretty useful, when he can download a movie using less than 1 hour.. and download lot of music, games and stuff like that.. I use maybe 8 hours to download a movie, and I'm using FlashGet.. than my speed is up and running at max 98.9kb/s... wouldn't have any objection if someone offered me that Internet connection

Same here - dial -up (56kbps) tsk, tsk, tsk tsk ! Need to evaluate my senses and move to higher grounds. How about "T1", without considering trying a "DSL" ??? |
