I seems to me that very many people here at BTP still have 56k modems. I want to know if it's true, because I don't.

i have a 56k connecting at approx 40kbps these days. Thats why i stopped postinng as much as usual. Although lke now im at college.

But anyway, untiol the threshhold for my area is reached BT wont make anything better available. Which asoloutly sucks arse.

Summary, BT are donkey rapists

yep, 600k down/128k up - the ol NTL package.

wish, BTP tends to be uber slow most of the time, unfortunately.

And yeh psymon, of course downloads from other people are slower, you can only download at their upload speed (max) :)

I forgot you to tell that I have 512k. Quite speedy, on BTP it depends on which design you have (as with all connections). If you have something with many pics, like the fruity design, it's slow, otherwise it's fast.

3084kbps down / 256kbps up. Cable. I imagine the 3 that put 'something else' have cable, and it should have at least been an option, as I think there are more people out there with cable than dsl (at least, that number is increasing).

HELP ME DINGBATS I HAVE 56K :( :( :(

The options for DSL and Cable here in New Zealand are expensive, you get a small amount of gigabytes per month (less than the number of gigabytes you could download with a 56k in a month), and if you download more than that small amount you get charged $$$ per megabyte. The data to New Zealand comes across a cable to California 10000km long, it's gonna take ages before the prices are good here :cry:

*stands up*
My name's tundraH and I still have dialup...

It doesn't bother me that much (mine is reliable and fast as far as 56k goes), but I'd like to get DSL. It's pretty reasonable around here as well - 1GB download limit a day which isn't actually enforced.

I think my country (Sweden) is one of the countries in the world where most people have some type of broadband connection. And I didn't think it was so expensive in New Zealand.
