I fail. I have no net at home. No options in the country except dialup and satellite. No DSL, no microwave, nothing. My dialup is 19k. Yes, 19k. My wife uses it for email. I don't even try.

is FiOS considered other or dedicated?
at work, we only had a fraction of a T1 (128... slow) up until about a month ago. now we have cable. the streaming ban has been lifted. work was where I heeded the 56k warnings, but now... not so much.
home/Fiber optic
I remember the 1200 baud and waiting for the first interwebz to load over NCSA Mosaic. but our LAN was all ARCnet.

I've got TWC Turbo. 15 down and 1 up. I like it, for $29.99 a month. 
*******.. I just got a letter in the mail, its going up to $44.95 a month come Jan 1.
Could be a little quicker if I shut down BitTorrent..

Well after connecting at home. On the "low speed" FIOs connection which is slow as ***** compared to at school (I'll get that tomorrow or tuesday)
home:
Well, then i decided to test my phone. I have a LG Vu through AT&T. mobilespeedtest.com on my phone and it pulled
204.6 kb/s. Um...that means some of you have internet that's nearly just as slow as my phone!!!
