(6) 10Mb straight into my appartment for about $10 a month.

Sitting on a student network with around 3500 users that share their data.
We have like 26TByte of unique data and 76TB total or something.

100Mb internal switched net and all sharing a gigabit line out to the Swedish backbone and on to the world.

(BTW I don't pay for Uni the goverment does (although I lend money from the goverment to live and study here))

(6) Other.

University T1 lines here...I'm going to miss it when I move off campus next month. But we should be okay, as the house we're renting is only 5000 feet from the local CO. We're looking at Speakeasy for DSL, has anyone had any experience with them, good or bad?

At work:

Company net connection. Not sure of the speed but enough to handle our 40000+ employees so it's got to be fast

At home:
(3) cable with DHCP
Roadrunner, actually very satisfied with the speed and availability.

ADSL, static IP, 2.5mbit / 768kbit. Though soon it will be 8mbit/1mbit (waiting for delivery). 600 meters closer to the station and I would have 13/13mbit (VDSL).

(3) Earthlink, had been with RoadRunner till a couple weeks ago. Was really unreliable for a while but they fainally fixed it and it has been fine for the past few months.

Cable's fine but it's been over a year now and I still miss my ResNet connection over at NCSU. That was a pretty sweet connection.

(1) Dial-up. Not a good way to run Gentoo though - it kinda needs dedication.
