Had b/band for years... I have no idea how on earth I coped with dialup... but when I started, 14.4 dialup- was state of the art...

14.4 - wow that was so fast back then.
I started at 300 bps and then graduated to 1200/75
I remember thinking how fast a 56k modem would be

Ive had broadband for about 2 years now and had i known how good it was, I would probably have got it two years earlier. I couldn't ever change back now.

A: Wow, this thing's really smoking!
B: Yeah, just think how fast it'll be in the future...

Hi all

Yeah it's very good .... I've have had a 0.5MB connection for about 4 months now...You'd think I'd be used to it. Bit it's amazing, d/l 60 meg in 20 mins! if not less!
I know somone who has a 2MB though!

In South Korea they have broadband 50, yes five oh, times faster than ours, and guess what, it costs the same as our 1Mb!

Mine was upgraded to 3MB about 6 months ago, but being cable it's a shared service so it's not always as lightning fast as it might seem.

Broadband has become too slow for me

. I have 512kb/s from Bt broadband and had it for about a year, but i want to get either 1mb or 2mb connection, but only Telewest do it in my area

Hopefully thought I should be moving house soon and that is in a Telewest enabled area

Having only recently got broadband installed, I thinkmy earlier comment might have been premature. Although some pages load at upto 50kbs, the general performance, especially on this site, is little better than my old dial-up, sometimes worse.

What type of speeds do others get on 512k connection? Before I get on the phone and yell at some unfortunate and underpaid soul, should I expect (or accept) my download speeds to be so unpredictable?
