Rep Power: 3  | So, what's your connection speed?
Mine is 28.8k. No, really!  Downloading stuff is awful, 3000 kb takes about 20-30 minutes. It's my location, it's very rural here. I mean like, nearest neighbor is a mile away rural. We have DSL downstairs, here's hoping we can get it networked soon! |

Rep Power: 3 | FIOS???
If you are on cable and have been noticing slower connections, call your ISP, tell them to put you on a different list(don't wanna get too complicated). This means you will be sharing the connection with fewer users, resulting in a faster connection. I want fiber optics. They have it up at the college I'm applyin for . Go NC STATE!!!

Rep Power: 7 | I did get FIOS and I really like it! The only down side was that with FIOS comes a new type of phone connection through FIOS. This means if FIOS goes down my phone will run off a battery for a time.

Rep Power: 0 | 512 I think. It's small, but I don't need to many things. I just have to upload some files from time to time (for the sites) small files, so I don't need such a huge traffic. And I can still aford pay this
