What kind of internet connection do you use?

It's important for our board to know what kind of internet connection our members use.

We would really appreciate your vote [righton]

We're gathering this info specifically to help us decide if we need to lower the file size limit on attachments and upLoads. Right now, the general limit is 150kb. This is probably a tad high for modem users; especially if they are getting charged by-the-minute to be onLine.

Another good way of putting this to question would simply be to ask ALL users of the Forum:

"Do you feel it takes too long for most threads to load in for you? Particularily those containing large or numerous images."

Overall, changing the file size limit will not make a real huge difference. I've tried curbing the loadin times a bit already, by setting the max post-per-page limit to only 15. But that too could be lowered if it would help any.

And that's what we're trying to decide on.

I voted Gauss, but I don't understand why it is important[confused]

My vote is in. I am over the T1 so I picked that one. T3's are the bomb!B7

Ok Sue, I guess you upload with the modem and download with the sattelite (at least that's what I know about sattelite connections), in that case choose T1 or better
