In reference to my post here (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23770&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=10), I would like to find out exactly how many PocketPCThoughts people use which internet connection method, or, which is the most popular.

Hmm....

Mine is mostly to discriminate who uses Bluetooth and who uses Wi-Fi.

So, I guess the polls can co-exist with eachother.

Edit: Besides, he/she didn't include OC3!!! :twisted:

He/she, errr... HE, no ME -- that is, I don't even know what OC3 is!

OC3 is for businesses, I highly doubt anyone at home has this connection. Maybe you should have done a poll to see what type of internet people use on their mobile device.

And, YOU didn't include WIRELESS Highspeed Internet connection either. :razz:

Such attitude! 8O

I should do a poll to see how many people ever knew you can have wireless highspeed connection at home without using a satellite. :razz: :wink:

My set up is pretty nice. Cable internet with a max speed of 500 kbps. (ive gotten that high) DLINK 802.11g router. My computer is connected with an eithernet cable with a max speed of 100mbps web/file transfer. (integrated mobo nic) I dont have gigabit because i dont share files on my network. My pda uses the 802.11 g/b spectum and surfs very fast anywhere on my 2 acre property and at my neighbors house.

And what, exactly, would you DO with all that headroom!?! 8O

You can only use so much bandwidth, right? :wink:

Uhhh - T1s and a T3s are also for businesses as well. Besides, with modern DSL speeds, T1s are becoming less and less common. The most common reason for choosing a T1 over DSL would be for web hosting where greater upload speeds are desireable. From a download standpoint, many DSL connections are actually faster than a T1. My DSL download speed is 4 Mbps for instance - much faster than a T1.

No use, particularly. :D
But right now I'm on 56K.. and the idea that you could download an entire DVD in a few seconds.. and that almost nothing wouldn't open instantly.. sounds very nice (though I realize that fast cable or, to a lesser extent DSL, can for all intents and purposes do the same)...

If I had OC48 with my *Windows 98*, I would be heaven :angel:

Of course, the OC48 would make up for my loss of speed...

So tell me why you are going on about T1 when I was talking about OC3? OC3 is business use, I didn't mention anything about T1 and there you are, defending it! :roll:

Sorry guys. In light of the fact this thread is completely derailed, it's time to kill it. dmacburry2003, I understand your intentions were initially noble... but the patient (thread) is dead.

This whole post has been moved to the HOF&S. The speed with which a few people managed to totally derail this thread was unbelievable. It will stand as a permanent example of how not to act in these forums!
