Well, for the people that don't know already from the chatroom/ #tmk, I have FREAKIN' DIAL-UP. I am one of the only known people to still have dial-up out of all of my friends. *Mr.Melee does a big sigh* So much for catching up with the 21st century.

It's people like you that don't let web developers explore their artistic skills!!! >:(   

Although that is true, I'm sure it's not your fault. You're a minor. And on top of that, upgrading is a lot of work. (but it's worth it.)

What the heck?
Good web developers try to make the maximum effect with the least amount of bandwidth.

Well, a lot of sites have seperate low and high bandwidth versions. This can take away from the web developer's time.

Also, a lot of people don't know how much better high speed Internet is until they try it. It's like the DS and the DS Lite.

I've got DSL. Only the best internet connection for the best forums :D!

Pardon me, Chupperson, but good web developers always have to scale down to meet requirements. Point preserved.

And I'm pretty sure that cable is better than DSL.

Comcast (now Warner-something) DSL. It's VERY fast.

I have Verizon DSL. Given the age of my computer I almost have to use a fast connection. I've had DSL for almost three years now, a move I made mostly to free up the phone line.

I use mine wiressly--my mom has a router on her computer and I have an airport card in the iBook. I guess that means I could take the computer to Starbucks with me and get on AIM?

In the last year I've gone from cable to dial-up to cable to DSL to cable.

I'm with Chup on this one.  Dial-up users keep web developers on their toes--and that helps everyone.  Also, Lizard Dude's internet speed changes faster than Oprah Winfrey's dress size.

Hmm, I think Comcast has cable. Phone companies usually provide DSL.

But you don't have to have cable TV to have cable Internet.

No, not your browser. (Honestly, it isn't even a poll option.)
