    Default Dialup or High-Speed?

    As web design progresses and more sites use things like flash, embedded video, hi-res images, etc... I was wondering how many here still are on dial-up on their personal computers?

    My speed test comes out at 2.09 Mb/s download and .42 Mb/s upload. It is DSL through AT&T.

    I'm on dial-up. Not fun. But it beats no internet connection, heh. For the last four years, we kept hearing, "Yes, high-speed is coming to the Middle of Nowhere," but that's yet to happen. The tower is up. It's just down the road from my house. My fingers are crossed, hoping it'll finally happen before the end of teh year.

    At one time I had a satellite internet system (through Hughes). The download was moderate, the upload wasn't much better than dial up. So those with satellite internet would be considered a slow connection. For instance, the VPN at my office wouldn't run on it. Just something to think about. I'm lucky that I was able to eventually get a cable connection. My neighbors could not and they use VerizonWireless MiFi. Faster than satellite, but all videos and pictures add up quick to the monthly data limit.
