56Kb. Unfortunately, cable modems not yet available here. Especially when downloading, feels like horse and buggy days! Oh well, someday maybe. :(

Been flying with cable since late last year, don't ever wanna go back... and with the cost of a 2nd phone line on top of what AOhelL was charging, I about broke even on monthly cost! Plus, Comcast just installed digital cable box for less than what I was paying for the two services before!

Cable is Years away from here. :( Melbourne and Sydnet are just starting to have it installed so sleepy old tasmania will get it around 2010 My phone line is near a radio transmitter and about 4 km waay from the exchange so even though I have a 56k modem I have to slow it down to 33600 else I will get booted all the time <sigh> its hard in the outposts of civilisation

I recently upgraded to 14.4 kbs from 9.6.... Cable would be a dream!
Lilith I would recommend you now discover the newsgroups with your new found speed (if you haven't already) :)

Lilith---I have had a cable hookup for some time now!I had AOL and was fairly happy with it but at the time;I was semi-retired and
doing temporary(mainly Manpower)work.If I was online;they couldn't call me;because my line was busy.That meant;because they have a contract to meet;that I lost alot of work!Our TV is cable connected ;anyway;and the company(MetroCast)has an
Internet connection;so I changed internet services.That way;I;can
be online and my phone line isn't tied up.I changed for convenience&neccessity!I don't notice any difference in speed.
Irish
P.S.It's more expensive but I can get those work calls so it really
isn't.

56k ...Some areas around here(within 40 miles) are starting to get Roadrunner Cable hookups ,but atlas it will be a while before my area has it.....

Saddaddy---One of my sons-in-laws ;works as an installer; for AT&T;formerlyMultiMedia,formerly Continental Cablevision.It has
changed names;so much;that I can't keep up with it.They install
the Roadrunner system.He works out of the Portsmouth/Dover
area.If that is in your area;let me know.I might be able to help you out!I think Roadrunner is a better systemthen I have.My area
Rochester/Barrington is under contract with Metrocast.That is why
I have it.Any changes; that I have made;have been done; on the
sly;by my son-in-law! Irish

I have dial up and I am fiending for more speed so I am going to break down next month and get the cable line :D
I had this wonderful ethernet connection while i was at school. it was great!!! but, now i'm back home, stuck with dial-up. it drives me crazy. hard to go back to it after having a taste of that ethernet.
