    What kind of internet connection do you have?

    With all these threads about GFY or other boards loading slow I wonder what kind of internet connection does the average GFY user have.

    Post how much you pay for it too!

                      Business class comcast cable $75 a month here at the store, Time Warner cable, $50 a month, at home. Both are plenty fast for me.

                                          I don't see why it would be worth it unless you're doing mass uploading and/or spam operations.

                                            Only if you have an office of people to share the connection with and maybe run your phones system off of it. Or you are using it to host a couple sites.

                                            I've had a T1 to myself before...definitely wouldn't pay for it if it was just for me.

                                              It depends what you do on your computer.

                                              If your a horny old retired perv like me who cruises live sex video rooms all day then it certainly is.


                                              But Id think for just building and being a webmaster of adult sites, then no, its not really worth it.


                                              BUT with a T1, if your starting a paysite and you dont want to do hosting, a T1 can support a good amount of users at one time.

                                                Those high speed connections coming through the electrical lines sounds pretty cool. Will be interesting to see it works like they say it will.

                                                          If your a horny old retired perv like me who cruises live sex video rooms all day then it certainly is.


                                                          But Id think for just building and being a webmaster of adult sites, then no, its not really worth it.


                                                          BUT with a T1, if your starting a paysite and you dont want to do hosting, a T1 can support a good amount of users at one time.
                                                          You can't be serious if you actually would host a website on a residential T-1.

Last night and today though the thing has been up and down like Oprah's weight problem. I haven't gotten fuck-all accomplished. I was going to use my time wisely this morning and finish up an anal hardcore AVS site since my daughter was out of the house and I could actually -- gasp! -- work in the daytime. But my connection bounced on and off until I just gave up and went back to bed.

                                                                                              I re-checked the price, it is $39.99 a month, I did type $39.95... I was off by 4 cents, no misinformation intended. I do have cable TV service and I own my modem, so it is less than 40 bucks a month.

                                                                                              Your problems with the cable may be related to your area???

                                                                                              I have never had problems with the cable speed. 14KB/sec upload? I have never experienced that. For what you are paying a month, I'd be pissed off too.
