I would like to have Highspeed Roadrunner. It is very reliable and it really does operate fast. It is something that I can count on. It may go out when there is a bad storm with lightning. I do love a faster Intenet Connection. It makes me work quicker and easily. What type of connection suits you? Do you think that you would like to try another connection out to see how it may work? Or would you just rather stick to what you may have now?

I have a local rural connection called Ben Lomand Co-Op. With them I have high-speed and must have it for the work I do online. It's a requirement. Even if it wasn't I'm much happier with the high-speed.
If I found something that would cost much less than I'm paying now then I would probably try it.

I am pefectly happy with the one I have which is the cheapest here in Italy. I can stay connected 24/7 and pay a flat rate monthly whether I use it or not. It's ADSL at 7 Mega (whatever that means ).
I just know it's fast enough and fine for what I do online.
Happt Lotting!

A T3 sounds nice, though since I do not download much anymore, I do not see the point.

I want cable speed. I heard it download stuff like 1 gb in less then 2 minutes or something. That is too amazing for me to comprehend. I have dsl lite and it has ok speed. Its nothing compared to cable though. The good thing is that its cheaper. And money isnt easy to earn you know from the ecomnomy going down and stuff. I want the connection what ever the library has because it is freaking fast lol.

I have DSL threw my phone company. IT is all bundled with my dish and phone line. IT is very fast.
I had roadrunner before this and it was a huge step up from dialup.

Hi cream97!
How are you my friend?
I am very much contented with our internet connection and I think I am going to stick with it since we never had any problems with it. There are other companies who offers the same speed connection but for a higher price and that is also one of the main reasons why I am sticking with my present connection.
take care and blessings to you always my friend!

I have a cable connection and its just fine, faster really doesn't matter to me and since I don't know how fast its really supposed to be I wouldn't know the difference.

LoL, honestly a FREE high speed DSL would be nice. It is reliable and doesn't have too many outages. It has been something that I've come to rely upon for the past ten (10+) years or so. I hate it when it storms and I'm working on projects, especially for work, or when I'm trying to meet my mylot payout at the end of the month, and there are several thunderstorms back to back that keep the DSL not functioning at it's 100% maximum capacity. I've tried other connections like cable and Satellite even. I've found those to be the first thing to go out during storms, so it usually ended up being a double whammy, because not only does your cable television service go out, but your online connection is out as well. It can cause you to be very angry if you're not mild tempered.

I currently use dsl through at&t and I am fairly satisfied with it for the price. I have previously used roadrunner and it was surprisingly fast but you are going to pay about fifty bucks a month for this service.
For normal use of the internet I believe that either one of the above mentioned services would be more than acceptable but if you are going to download and upload files very much you may begin to get frustrated. I personally would like a T1 service but I am unsure of the cost.

I would definitely stick with what I have now. I got the Verizon FiOS last month, and I love it! It's really fast, and I don't have any reliability problems with it. The last service that I had disconnected randomly, so it was not reliable enough to do important things. I would definitely recommend Verizon FiOS to anyone that it is available to.

I have now two Internet connection - a broadband connection, and a wireless connection using my mobile. So far as Internet connections are concerned, I'm contemplating to change it, and to use a new connection from another ISP. I have heard they offer faster download.

In India the max connection available to home users is 2MBPs so i would like to have atleast 4Mbps connected instead of 2.

I would love to try a much faster connection, but, I couldn't afford the cost. The connection I have now is through my phone company and it's pretty fast. I can't really complain.

I like DSL. My computer is older and seems to run slower than most.. But it works for the purposes that I need it. :)
My internet rarely goes out due to storms - which is great. I think the internet has only gone out once or twice in the past year (that I can remember), which is amazing, considering in my area, we have many thunderstorms throughout the year.
I personally am a very impatient person. I hate when websites take more than a few minutes to load - I get bored. I pretty much need the website I'm on to load instantly. :/

I am happy with the broadband connection I have right now. I just have basic cable internet service, but it is fast enough for what I like to do. I order through comcast which is not best in customer service and prices but its all we have in cable internet in this area.
