<< cable for 3 years. I'd never move to a new place that didn't have cable access. Is that sad when you choose a residence by the internet connection? >>
No, it's not sad... It's just a priority for us anandtechers... I'm on dialup right now, but the next place i move to will have to have broadband. I've been waiting for cable or DSL at my residence for almost 2 years now. And when I contacted them before I moved in, they told me it would be 2 months before they got to my area. Maybe they meant 2 years. At my old place, I had 10mbit cable access and I would frequently DL at 400KB/sec from the big sites with alot of bandwidth. Then it came to a screeching halt when I came back to dialup... I honestly thought something was wrong with my connection when I was DLing at 5KB/sec. I was like... hmmm... I thought it was faster than this before.
