What bandwidth do you normally surf AF on?

I am just wondering whether the 56k warning for pics is getting a bit redundant. I normally sorf on 512/128 or 1.5m/256. The slowest connection I use is at home which is still 256/64.


So for this poll, please choose whether you are on dial up (56k or slower) or on broadband (256k or faster) for 80%+ of your internet usage time.

Re: What bandwidth do you normally surf AF on?

I am always on broadband either DSL or T1 but I like the 56k warnings because I can quickly pick out the picture threads

I understand where you're coming from and agree. Like when I'm downloading something else and the pics load as if I was on 56k anyway.

What I am suggesting for the future is that we simply have something along the lines of [LRG] in any thread with heaps of big pictures or videos etc. Anything that realistically requires a decent amount of bandwidth to load in an acceptable amount of time.

cable/roadrunner. even the insanely large pictures that sometimes get posted are no problem even when downloading other things.

Re: What bandwidth do you normally surf AF on?

I'm actually running a bit slower than normal right now. I'm usually at 2500-2700 Kbps:


P.S. - That's from home by the way. I'll be right back with my work results (I can can control my work comp remotely).

Re: What bandwidth do you normally surf AF on?

ADSL, downloading is usually a 40-50 kb/s affair.

Re: What bandwidth do you normally surf AF on?

ADSL, d/l at around 280kbps, upload at around the same.
