Same as Boo_Radley, modem at home, so I download all stuff at work and burn on CD. A 56K modem works perfectly ok for TCP/IP and PBEM:s. I am still waiting for the energy company to come and install broadband through the electricity net so I finally can get rid of my line phone. smile.gif

I've got both. The cable here in Sydney (via Bigpond) seems to be down about once a week for a couple of hours at a time, so then it's back to the dial-up modem on the laptop (for email only).

Working in publishing, I often have to download Indesign documents about 20MB or more in size. With the cable that takes about 20-25 seconds to download. Whoosh! With the little dial-up modem it takes so long I don't even bother to try.

Cable seems unreliable here in Australia, but it's mighty fast.
