Again, pinned for a bit. Bet you'd like to know yourself, just out of curiosity! Please add your answers.

Sexshool preferences are none of my biz. Or ours.
All I want for detnet is talent, and if you got it, I don't care if you screw your vacuum cleaner to get off.
Just get us off!!!

you should have added residential shared T1 installation as a choice. i hear those are becoming more popular now as a way to attract people to living in apartment complexes.

Hey ...damnit ...it didn't let me vote. I hate it when that happens.By day I'm on an OC12 (622 Mbps) connection that hauls data traffic back to NJ where the content is checked and filtered before connecting to the public Internet through a proxy/firewall mess ...effectivly slowing down my connection speed to about 2Mbps
By night I have a cable modem through Time Warner.

what wiley's not telling us is that the real reason it's so slow is because he's running a topsites ftp... and that's eating most of the bandwidth, but he's got everyone convinced that it's the proxy firewall mess.

Actually all the bandwidth is used for phones, video conferencing, and moving a whole lotta video feeds across the country. We gotta be AT&Ts number one customer.

I have a 56K that connects at about 26K god I hate this place.
Posted by Spydir on Feb. 26 2002,23:40
my old 56K line used to run at 13.4K/s, on a regular basis. I fucking loved it.

Back in Germany, about a year ago, I was the God of the Techies at my school because I had a cable modem that could download at speeds of up to 15 kbps, while everyone else had a 56k, going at 4 kbps on most servers. Germany took a long to upgrade. Now most of them have DSL.

Well, at least you have a cool avatar...
Posted by DuSTman on Mar. 06 2002,06:12
I concur. Nice avatar ColdFusion. You'd probably be interested in my hacking-of-3d-sound-into quake2 project.
