I voted what's Internet Connection?????????? I just think this is very "interesting" <_< <_< question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I have dial-up at home (50 Kbps connection) and wireless at school (11 Mbps connection), but come on Hyeforum when I'm at home most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armo77 Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I am suprised you at least have 50kbps.. I would have guess 12.2kbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I am suprised you at least have 50kbps.. I would have guess 12.2kbps lol.. geez, you treat me like i'm from the middle ages.. dial-up is not that old, you know.. its usage is declining but a lot of people still use it. The slow decline of dial-up and the steady growth of broadband will add up to substantial growth in overall consumer Internet connections through 2007, IDC projects. It sees broadband increasing at 36 percent CAGR (compound annual growth rate) to nearly 50 million connections over the next four years. Consumer dial-up connections are projected to decline by 9 percent a year from 52.5 million connections at the end of last year to 34.2 million in 2007. http://www.ladlass.com/archives/001333.html Not to mention, why would I pay 30 bucks for an almost unreliable DSL when I can get reliable (but slow compared to DSL) dial-up for 10 bucks?

Sip Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Armo, as a rule of thumb, I change any posted picture over 50K to a link. Feel free to post whatever, just that large pictures (over 50K) should be linked. I think there is also a 50K limit on attachments. About avatars, I'd like to see them as small as possible. Less than 10K is perfect. 20K or less should be fine. More than that is pushing it ... especially since they show up a lot and in a page with 20 replies, you can have 20 different avatars. About your question, I connect to the site with anything ranging from 14.4Kbps to over 100Mbps. My usual connection is a 1.5Mbps DSL line. Also, not everyone viewing these pages is in the US ... so we want to be as accomodating as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sip Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I cleaned up the insults/jokes in here. Let's stick to the question. The rest should be taken to private messages or the chatroom. Thanks. I also changed the options a bit to match general bandwidth grades in the poll though the previous votes should still be correct.

Anileve Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Tom Cruise wasn't an Fast and the Furious! You are right, but he should have been, that would have been realized if I was the casting director, along with other things that I would have liked to realize with him. Ummm...like playing chess and stuff. Fast like the Deprived for too long men (to correct Danny boy). Fast like a plate of oysters prepared by vava that would disappear in my esophagus.
