How do you connect to the Internet?

I have a 28K winbeam connection. It's slow, sometimes it won't connect, and I only have one phone line in my house, so I can only use it when nobody's on the phone.

I have a 56k dial up in my student halls, costing a staggering 2.5p per minute off-peak times (hence why I don't post often). I go into the uni download stuff though, using a 20gb pocket drive.

128k cable broadband indeed.

At home 56k dial up through iPrimus, unlimited hours and unlimited downloads.

At work, three DSL lines... But heavily limited usage due to the fact its an internet cafe

I use cable, provided by Strategic Technologies. Just click IE or Opera, and it's on.

Speed is usually around 1200/128 kbps, though I did once get 2400/128.

Off-topic:

There are people on Spacebattles with cable connections that go into the 5 mbit and 8 mbit range.

I'm on cable. Though for some reason my dad keeps AoL. Oh well, means I don't have to do any new email changes
