Dial up or Cable?

I remember the pain of 56k, man that was terrible. Wow. Right now I am on a college campus and can d/l at ~850 kb/s so cable seems slow to me now, lol.

cable. get comcast because u can download up to 4 megabytes. its that fast.

Cable is much better, but I actually still have dial-up at home, but I am at school when I post.

both now. lol. my sis uses dial up. i use cable in another room

cable 4 me

cable. get comcast because u can download up to 4 megabytes. its that fast.

I assume you mean 4 megabits/second which is 500kb/s.

I've got dial up
but my father will put the fast speed connection soon

i got cox cable (that's the only reason ihave cable cause my parents hate cable but my dad loves internet)

lol 56k wtf is that?

nani o..? I though 4mb is equal to 4000kb? Wakarimasen.. I don't understand.. Where did u get 4mb is 500kb? Yea, I prefer Cable, it's much much faster! Dial up is slow. Osoi ne!
56k is a dial up if I'm not mistaken and it stands for 56kilobytes? I'm not sure...

4 megabits = 500 kilobytes 8bits = 1 byte
so 4000000 bits = 500000 bytes

isp's almost always advertise their download rates in megabits because you get a bigger number, but when people talk about file sizes they almost always talk in bytes.

o I c now.. thanks.. hehe.. I was confused.. now I understand.. wakatta... 8bit=1byte.. domo arigato gozaimasu.. thanks very much! I appreciate it! ;)

CABLE!!! i remember when we had to dial up and had the little phone tracker to see who all calls while we are on the internet. lol. then trying to quick disconnect if that call was important!!! lol

hehe its shikamauu~~~

i am doing fine. i am soon gonna go into h i b e r n a t i o n so i can draw some. lol. i hate Dial Up whenever i hear it i like freak out!!! ohhh it killed to have that.

I assume you mean 4 megabits/second which is 500kb/s.
no he said it right the frst timw thats what i have too

56K is a slow but cheap connection, for those light internet users.

Cable. I hate Dial-up.

I have a DSL connection, download rate is 61KBPS, not bad I suppose.

i have cable, dial up sucked

Cable here, Road Runner to be exact. 4.8 megabit connection (600kb/s downloads)

I heard cable varies on it's speed, depending on how many people in your area have cable, is this true or is it a set download rate?

Its true, but Im lucky and not many people around here have cable :D

So is cable expensive? My school connection downloads around 800KBPS, do you need cable T.V to get cable?

you don't need to i don't think... it can come in a package and thats what we have i think

Its not too expensive, and no, you dont HAVE to have cable tv, but you DO have to atleast be able to get cable. In other words, if your way out in the boondocks and cant get cable tv, then you cant get cable internet.

i use dial up but i dont like it

awww..

dude.... that sux
