Dial-up vs Broadband
Well, in the wake of the posting pictures thread in the suggestions forum, I'm interest to see what sort of proportion of people use broadband/dial-up.
I think we should consider those on dial-up, so I'm just asking out of interest (The info might come in use later ).

I'm on Dial-up . ADSL is really freaking expensive in South Africa. A recent study showed us to pay 100% to 200% more than the USA or UK

Cable, although restricted in the amount to download/upload.
Other than the connection problems of the modem bank, I never really found dial-up much of a problem, and that was with a messy 28.8Kbps modem that kind of always crashed to 14.4Kbps.
Then again, I'm old, and have never truly been much of a surfer like that.

I use Cable and as soon as my other computer is up and running I will have a network of about 4 computers running in my home...thats gangsta. Anywho Dialup sucks I had dial up for like a bunch of years and it took forever to load up websites download things and what not. For the money the best deals are your beyond dial up. I like cable because it is only a small addon to the cable bill which makes it cheaper than maintaining a second phone line.

I believe Broadband, but it's certainly pretty fast, and it doesn't make the irritating agonising noises that dial up can make.

Currently using Broadband (DSL). Using Dial-up makes my teeth grind... but then again I am an IT Profesional and I do a fair amount of repair work for family and friends -- and the occasional side job.
As for the images... I don't care too much one way or the other, but we should be considerate for those people who do not have a high-speed connection. No need to make those without feel like they do not count for anything.
