I have this sucks 32 kbps connection, and its idle too much since its shared wireless connection.
In my country internet connection is still a luxury, you can only get cheap internet for local bandwidth while for international its really expensive.
And most ISP are taking advantage really good by making their customers to choose whether they want time based (a few(25~100) hours for a month or a few(1~3) GigaByte for a month, if its exceeded you'll need to pay additonal charge per hour or per MegaByte which is quite expensive)
Sucks isn't ~_~ and the worst part is that they called it "unlimited" internet connection XD
Usuallly they gives Slow connection for Time-Based connection and Fast conenction for Volume-based connection.
But there is 1 ISP that offers a quite reasonable, about $10/month for a (real) unlimited connection, even though its only 384kbps local and 64 (or 128) kbps international connection (most ISP here only gives 64 or 128 kbps international connection for home user),
at least there aren't any additional monthly fee ^^, but they coverage area is still small since they use cable tv line(which is not the dominating one in the country)
So i wonder what kind of connection do you have and whats your monthly fee for it?
Or may be any of you have even worse than those ISP in my country can offer? O_o

That is quite slow. I am sorry to say that. Anyways, I don't really have any internet connection in our house. In fact, I don't even have a computer in my house but I am planning to buy. Where do I go internet? In the internet cafes, from my work and from my friends house. They are all using DSL connection. It is really fast. Its download speed reaches around 100kBps because they got 1Mbps connection. In my work place, I think it is around 20Mbps because it is really fast.:)

That's a great speed though. Yes, you are right! Here in my office, I can't browse to sites which are prohibited. Most likely the social networking websites and other related websites.:)

hello there...
well, i understand your situation... everybody hates slow internet connection since the world is getting at fast pace... i have 384kbps connection... it's pretty slow also but i don't know why... i wish i can get 1-2mbps connection... wonder how the speed would be like.... but here, it's pretty expensive but they are lowering the price so i might check them out after few months again...
