Whats your bandwidth and what type of a connection are you on ?

I am on slow cable having a throughput of 256Kbps..

I was wondering that myself and asked on another thread. Do you have the site that you can check it at?

Your wish is my command... well not really, but i can help out with this:
http://speedtest.cogeco.net/ it's a speed test for your internet, enjoy!
You can also view others in your area and connection type to see how you stack up.
(you'll need javascript enabled for this)

Thanks a lot W2. I appreciate it. I will have to wait until I get home to check. Here at work I have dial up and it would probably take half the morning for that site to even come up.

i'm not sure...sometimes it's so fast, sometimes it's even slower than dial up...

wow, i didn't even know dial-up was still used by companies, i just kind of assumed they would require faster connections, especially when comparing prices it isn't that much more, but hey "penny saved, is a penny earned" they say.
Dial-up can be efficient pending your location and all effort put into the configuration. I've had download speeds of a consistent 20kbs+ from dial-up way back when, but i wouldn't trade my highspeed for anything.

I have a 1 Mbps connection over cable modem

I have a 3mb/512 adsl connection. Works pretty well and it is only like $20 a month so the price is defiantely right.

I have a cable modem but I do not know how fast it is sorry!
