I have DSL, 768/128...just wondering what kind of speeds people view these pages at

 

[DanG]

T3. Eight of them here on campus.

 

[mezzman]

timewarner roadrunner cable, 1.5m/500

 

[dhwilkin]

Roadrunner cable modem.

 

[Persiflage]

I'm on a college campus as well. I believe that we're running an OC-3 line to our service provider.

just got the dsl earlier this month. Sucked being on dialup for a year and a half (living off campus) after two years in wired dorms.

I use a cable modem (Time-Warner RoadRunner).

For those on dial-up, to maximize the speed of Head-Fi, you can go into your user control panel (see "user cp" button at the top of most pages in Head-Fi), and you can use the following settings:

1. Set "Show user's signatures in their posts?" to no
2. Set "Show user's avatar in their posts?" to no
3. Set "Show image attachments and code in Posts?"[/i] to [b]no[/b] [*] Set [i]"Default Thread View:"[/i] to one of the lower settings [*] Set [i]"Default Posts per Thread:"[/i] to one of the lower settings [/list]
   While we're on the topic of the user control panel, may I suggest that all of you using Private Messaging set your [i]"Pop up a box when you receive a Private Message?"[/i] option to [b]yes[/b] so you know when you have Private Messages waiting for you.

Jude - NOW you tell me...where were you a month ago?

Just kidding. Good tips for when I'm back home (need to convince my parents to dump AOL.............

)

2 OC3's plus Internet2 access! I hate going home and using my parent's cable modem

 

[Eagle_Driver]

Well, I'm STILL STUCK on a crappy 56K dialup connection; my ENTIRE household can't afford any broadband service whatsoever.

 

[Xevion]

Eagle Driver - Are you serious? Cable is $44 a month here, so it is cheaper then dialup + an extra phone line + dialup. But my house has 4 computers and a laptop hooked up to the switch so it is much cheaper then 2 or 3 dedicated phone lines.

I have 1500/300 cable. It isn't fast enough.

 

[Odin]

ADSL for me. I used it for a year or so now and I love it. It's fast and stable, unlike cable which I heard that there are lots of problems (4am in the morning you're finishing your researching and....damn! Internet's down!!!).

 

[andrzejpw]

Earthlink DSL. Cable in my area is hell.

 

[Flasken]

adsl 512/512. Perfectly fine for searching and playing UT.

 

[CaptBubba]

T2 equivelent wireless connection (20Mb/sec) shared between 200 people. The most I've downloaded at is 700KB/sec, but that was when nobody else was online.

At home, 28.8 dialup.
