One serious drawback to highspeed: if you ever have to use dial-up again, you'll think they took away your drivers license and gave you a tricycle with flat tires and rusty bearings!

Keep in mind the cell phone, G3 idea.

I now have a (fairly) high speed connection, at least compared to dial up. :hammer:

I have a cell phone tower connection. It is only a 256k line and it sucks. I also have a cell phone G3 but doesn't have reception at my house otherwise I would use it all the time cause it is fairly fast.

PG are you on cable?

I have 1.5mbs service here in town and surprisingly, out at the ranch as well.

No, simply that 1.5mbs is sufficient to call it high speed. I don't have a need for faster.

It's my understanding that most cable is 6mbs, and in Japan 1000mbs is standard in the cities.

Thank you, oh wise one.
I did sign up for a month of Road Runner Turbo with power boost.
This thing flew, but I've never had a problem with speed connection prior to that, so I am back to the normal RR connection.
Suits me just fine ;)

Chris you are right. DSL in most areas is limited to 1.5mbs but is opening up to 7.0 in certain areas.
