Out of curiosity, how many of you are on Broad Band, and with which ISP?

I have had a few problems with them but overall I am pleased with their service. I would wait though until they offer free installation or be cheeky like I was I tell them you want it for free :)

You could try...
'If we had a faster connection I wouldn't be on here as much, we could do a feng shui cookery course together...I could make a 'love seat' at carpentry class for us....etc.'

Sounds a good plan :)
I'm planning on using the "I need it for my course" line when I go back to uni next year...

The cable internet around here is TERRIBLE, sure, you get a clean 1MB down stream, but when it goes out for days at a time and the DSL around here is wonderful, its not a hard choice. Used to have Verizon at 756dw512up for around $40 a month, it was perfect for running CS and TFC servers. Now Im stuck with SBC 256dw/128up for around $30, although Im getting it upgraded soon, i want my speed back :(

I'm on M Powered DSL, it's about 40 bucks a month or something. I get about 40kb/s on average from Soulseek, but it gets up to 120 sometimes. And about 70kb/s if I download something off the net from a good site.
It's very reliable, hasn't gone out in ages.

I've probably had about 7 hours in total downtime in the past 6 months. Before that there were major problems with one of the UBR's in my area which meant the network lost its downstream on a regular basis. This worked out quite good though because I just kept on phoning Telewest and complaining and I got 3 months free :)

My top speed is 300 kb/s I pay about 25 € per month i think? but its more like 12.50€ cus i share the connection with my brother thru a rauter.
I wish i had a service called "bredbands bolaget" wich is about 10 Mb/sec but that is not awalible for everyone at the moment .
