What kind of Internet connection do you have?

Self-Explanatory

DSL comes in a variety of flavors with different CIR's.

Mine is 1.5 down / 384 kb up.

CIR is 384 so no matter what I will get 384 kb guarenteed despite any fluctuations. Something cable can't guarentee you.

Cable here

[Absurd]

Sattelite has a very high latency - esp. for upload. It's horrible for games.

[TheWhiteRaider]

True. Sattlelite is still being worked on.

[Murdoch]

ADSL here, 512/512. I love it. The biggest advantage imo is the stable and relatively low price. I mean, if i could set a fixed price on a 56K it would rise in attractivness a huge deal because you could afford to keep it on all day, meaning any download will finnish sooner or later.

Just a small interlude tho. ADSL beats 56K to the stone age. :atat:

[Absurd]

Very nice Murdoch. You can probably host games on it fairly well.

Here's the formula for games:

Broadband running @ 576.0 kbps

[The Truthful Liar]

I have DSL as well, I was *uses fingers to show how much* THIS FRIKIN close to getting (which you forgot to add to the list btw) Fiber Optics connection. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm one city to far away... grrr...

*starts weeping* :( :( :(

Anyway, when I move directly into Stockholm I'll get the fastest there is hopefully :D :D :D

[NerfYoda]

2.6m/512k ADSL here. :)

[C'jais]

I *think* I have 256/128 ADSL connection - very expensive, very shoddy, very unstable.

[Jedi Spy]

I use 56k but i consider myself blessed, you dont really need a good connection for jk2 although it wouldnt go amiss. It just means i have less pointless sh!te downloaded on my computer than you :D

I am getting cable at christmas from my generous mummy and daddy :o

[Agen]

Me got me cable here.

[acdcfanbill]

a crappy one, cause it was out all weekend, not allowing me to get my fix of JK2 :mad: :D

[Agen]

My cable must be the only reliable cable source in the damn world!

[Ratmjedi]

I have a 56k. I am very sad now.:(
:duel: :lsduel:

[Darth-Nasty]

i also have stupid stupid 56k connection which prevents me from playing most online games:(

[Agen]

Hmmm, my 56 was also blessed, except for kicking in jk2:rolleyes:

I have a 56k modem with a fixed price, (the equivalent of) $45 for three months. Unlimited surfing time...

[ckcsaber]

I have dsl

[teutonicknight]

I have hella cheap unlimited 56k. Only 18 bucks a month. :) Not that slow when I play JK2 too...:)

[Ratmjedi]

I actually play good online. It may lag a little but I still can kick a$$. My ping is usually 300 if I am very lucky but usually I get 400-500. I have gotten use to ajusting to the lag so I can still play with the best of them. If I had a better connection I'm sure I could do even better. But that won't be for awhile. :(
:lsduel: :duel:

[Darth Groovy]

I seem to have the kind of connection that allows freaks to log in here under my name and post spam threads that get locked before I even find out about it. I used to swear by broadband, but now I am not so sure anymore.:confused:
