I just saw a thread that said "56k no no" in the title. Does anybody have 56k? At $20/month, I think you could probably have a minimum of 786 pretty much anywhere in the country.

those who live too far from the civilized world, or those who don't know about DSL/Cable....which isn't very many nowadays.

we pay $35 a month for 1.5 meg cable.

I had 3MB DSL for the past several years. I moved recently a few miles out of town. Their is no cable/dsl available here. So I'm on 56k until I find alternative or re-locate. I was thinking about looking into Wireless.

Its probably something like that. *Drools*

OC-96+, now that is the stuff. The speed is measured in Gbits/sec and bills measured in 10's of thousands.

56k here! woo woo! not my computer though, and not paying for anything better. i'll buy my own computer with cable connection when i get back.

How do you go about getting a t1 connection and how much is it? Isn't this faster than cable? someone enlighten me, please. also, what are the benefits of using your own server?

56k in its dream. Hi speed or broad band of some sort is not available. When I moved here I called Direct TV(had them before). I wanted satellite TV and hi speed internet, and by law they can not broad cast here. Or so they told me.

They don't pass up money, so I know it is true.

6mb Cable, they keep jumping it up and no extra costs. Was 1.5, then 3, then 4 then now 6. Its roadrunner from timewarner, most of the time its great. Can be a bitch sometimes though.
