Absurd Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 DSL comes in a variety of flavors with different CIR's. Mine is 1.5 down / 384 kb up. CIR is 384 so no matter what I will get 384 kb guarenteed despite any fluctuations. Something cable can't guarentee you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absurd Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Sattelite has a very high latency - esp. for upload. It's horrible for games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdoch Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 ADSL here, 512/512. I love it. The biggest advantage imo is the stable and relatively low price. I mean, if i could set a fixed price on a 56K it would rise in attractivness a huge deal because you could afford to keep it on all day, meaning any download will finnish sooner or later. Just a small interlude tho. ADSL beats 56K to the stone age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absurd Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Very nice Murdoch. You can probably host games on it fairly well. Here's the formula for games: http://www.geocities.com/c4guide/#beforeyoustart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
