In the novice fightlog journal dudemus encouraged people to use google
docs for personal notes rather than asking for resources on cb.
Oddbird said that it is really slow for some and that got dudemus
wondering how many others were still on dial up as well as other
types of internet service.

cable

but my internet still goes hella slow and cuts out sometimes. Damn charter.

-- BadFish

I have both DSL and Cable. I voted for the latter though.

-- QBRanger

Dial-up

Sucks but no other options currently.

-- {Wookie}-Jir.Vr-

Never knew satellite internet was an option.. :o

-- TheCakeIsTheTruth

Good call...

...this poll.

-- Eurynome Bartleby

I used to have satellite internet. HughesNet, to be precise. I still have nightmares...
But, luckily! I now have DSL from ye'olde Verizon. ;)

Dial Up

I live in an area where the only thing I can get besides dial up is satellite, which would cost about $60 USD a month.

-- Newlin

Cable

Cable is the way to go but I wish I had FioS.

-- Soul Eater

Missing options.

I'm on "fiber optic to the building" broadband. The only choice that's even remotely appropriate is the last one, but it's not close enough. Boo !

-- Sickone

so sorry

i also forget ground based wireless as well as site based wifi. my apologies.


-- Admindudemus

Comcast

nuff said :P

-- Rawr

I've added both options...

-- AdminShade

Erm... I get my internet from my upstair neighbours who get it through cable. They use a router to transmit the wireless signal to me. Does that count as ground based wireless internet? lolz

-- IndependenZ

"I've added both options... "
Only mine not :)
"fiber optic (to the building) broadband".


-- Sickone

Very well :)

-- AdminShade

Polls suck!

-- Admiralkiller

Hooray \o/

-- Sickone

SHOCKED!

That I could possibly be the only person who utilizes the FOML?*
Kudos on keeping the poll integrity on that note! :D

*Fiber Optic Mushu Line

-- j'bob

Nope, you're the second one, the first one being me :P
But I actually really DO have that, for me it's not the "mushu" option :))

-- Sickone

How about

Wireless? (I have a dish on top of my house that I convert to a hardline and then a wireless router that covers my house)

-- Relic

sat wireless sniffle


im on satellite wireless..and ive got to say i know it can be better.....actually i WISH it can be better..rumors of a fiber optic cable goin up to barrow alaska from anchorage that will enable me to get cable i think. but that will take at the least 5yrs and more...people can connect to the net from the most remote part of africa yet i cant get decent service here :-l...

"Wireless? (I have a dish on top of my house that I convert to a hardline and then a wireless router that covers my house)"

does the dish on your house point to a satellite in orbit or a ground based tower antennae?

-- Admindudemus

Forum bans don't effect being able to post in polls! w00h!

And I'm using locally hosted cable.

-- PearsonTritonRaveshaw

All of the above

Where's the all of the above option?

-- bartjan

the dish is shared throughout my villiage 1dish for 50 people or so. its pure satellite :(

-- alaskanpsyko

mushu came to a basketball game not too long ago here...hmmm I still have his email...should we spam him some? lol and let him know we still have the MUSHU option@CB :) very few of us remember what he did to claim his fame...what was it he blew up todds x-bow "You Lose" and lost a few months work when the dwarf/blacksmith took it and nuked it LOL :)_

-- Shark

Not surprising that

about half of us have Cable.
