I have 56K dialup at home,but use broadband at work. THE DIFFERANCE IS AMAZING ! I would like to have a faster service at home, but I just can't justify the cost.The one thing that I don't like is that I can't get live action from the webcams-WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

Cable DSL, quicker than the computer I have. Can't beat it!

I've had Roadrunnner at the house for almost four years, and have been virtually trouble-free. The city just installed Roadrunner at our station as well, and my volunteer service has wireless DSL at the station, so no more dial-up for me!

Hi All,
I am using broadband cable. It is around $ 45.00 a month and very fast. We used to have 56k dial up. It was frustrating to keep getting kicked off , or no response at all. The money for broadband cable is cheap when I think of how much faster it is for the kids to use for school reports, games. When you go to download pictures it is so much faster that it is almost unbelievable.

Like model railroading, two rail lines are better than one, and two phone lines are superb for my dial up/ FAX/ Emergencies etc. I find the website www.trains.com loads fast. As I age ,
[ senior ] I really would urge the WEBMASTER of TRAINS. COM to enlarge the photos on the opening pages or stories. Even the stories on visiting members layouts, the click to open and enlarge photos, these photos are not large enough.
Has there been other polls about the website, layout, presentation and photos.

Here in Sunny Australia I use a broad band connection to surf the 'net. I don't think I could go back to a modem now that I have experienced broad band.

Broad band really comes into it's own for multimedia such as video.

Cheers,

I guess it depends on how much money one can afford another is availability, and finally preference especially when choosing between cable or DSL.

The most important thing is you have an internet connection.

I still use the dial-up. I have seen the high-speed and can't say I'm not impressed, but until the cost is less than my cable bill, I'll be sticking with the dail-up.
