I was wondering how many people actually have a good fast internet...because I sure don't.

I have the crappy school dial-up with speeds from anything to 12.2 kbps to 33.2 kbps. Plus it takes forever to do anything.

I have DSL. It's better then Comcast. I don't care what anyone says, Comcast is too expensive and is no faster than DSL is.

Problem is to get DSL you have to have a phone line.  I recently switched from Verizon phone and DSL to Comcast and Vonage.  My internet connection is now faster and I get 500 free minutes of long distance for less money.

That would be embarrasing if I was the only one with dial-up.

Gee, Dial Up sounds terrible, although it is true you must have a phoneline to get DSL. My dad works for atm, the new Southwestern Bell. So naturally, we have a phoneline.

I have dial up. which is complete crap, but at least I dont have to wait a year to download anything anymore since we got rid of our old computer years ago and we upgraded from 6.0 to 8.0. But yeah it still sucks.

Wi-Fi isn't really a type of Internet connection.
That was a joke.

Well it's a wireless connection anyway.  My grandma has dial-up, and yes, it sucks.  But its loading time on TMK isn't that bad.

Well I live in the outskirts...where you can't get a connection unless you have a satelite. I can't wait to get my own house.
