I'm sure that there are many people still using that museum technology known as dial-up, but after moving to broadband I just couldn't go back to a 56k connection.
At the moment I have a 600k broadband connection from UK telecommunications company ntl ( who are an American company operating here in the UK ). Last month I downgraded to the service I'm on now from a 1MB connection I had been using for several months. I also take digital cable TV from the same company, as well as my telephone line.
Over here in the UK, NTL offer 3 broadband services - a 150k service costing £17.99 per month ... a 600k service costing £24.99 per month, and the 1MB service which costs £34.99 a month.

What speed internet connection do you have at home, and which company supplies the connection ... how much does it cost ?.

i dont know what my work connection is but its fast as hell.. i have crappy 56k at home, but to be honest i cant be bothered to get on the net when im home after spending all day in front of a pc at work... tried to get ntl broadband but there's no "availability" in my area, pretty pathetic really, central London isnt exactly the sticks :disappoin
oh and i dont think flirting would have helped :iceslolan

some shitty connection at work that gets bogged down easily, boss said it wasn't quite T1 so I don't know what other connection could connect 140 people and still work in the same office to go on the internet. @ home I am running cox digital cable, $35 a month and they just doubled the speed so I can download around half a meg a sec.

That would be Kbit. :grinno:
Yeah, I don't have an OC3 at my house. That would be one hell of pipe to cram with data!
