    It's gotten a hair faster over the years, because my computers have gotten to be really fast. I still use the same modem I got in a gateway I use to own back in early 99

    Cable modem. Around 2.0, depending on what time of day it is...lowest I've seen it is 1.4, peak time on a Friday. Cost? $29 a month.

    Dial-up? What's that?

    A string between two tin cans. :P :P :P :P

    Or in the case of computers it would be between two silicon cans.

    1.5mb down/896k up DSL

    Downgraded from a 6 mb down/ 768k up cable connection. I'd prefer faster upload because of all the uploading I do, but 90k/Bs up is pretty good.

    Depends on what is working on the road. Depends on where we are US or Canada, never a dull moment trying to get on line and staying on line.

    Default using Comcast

    Getting 6 Megabits....obscenely fast. I build all my own boxes and do lots of VOIP and Peer tp peer. $00MB files download in under 30 minutes. Sure wish I could take it on the road with me.

    By the way, is there a way to get in truck internet these days? I need to do some research.
