Speed when accessing Autopia?

**switerajaya** · 06-03-2003, 02:53 PM

We have sometimes some very large pics posted. I was just wondering what kind of impact this may have on the community. Well, to get an idea I thought to start this thread. When I`m work I get to access our LAN/WAN and the privileges that entails. When at home I do the cable modem thing on a home network.

Full Speed!

Autopia has a large network pipe. We don`t even come close to using 30% of the available bandwidth at the peak hour of the day.

At work I`m on a T1. At home it slows down to a meger 28.8 kbps because area sucks and high speed access isn`t available. Grrrrrrrrrr.... I gripe about my slow connection all the time but on Autopia it doesn`t really slow me down much. Its obviously a little faster at work, but 28.8 isn`t so slow that Autopia doesn`t work. There are some boards I can`t go to on my dialup because I would just end up waiting all day for the pages to load up. Autopia is safe at any speed though. Believe me, I`ve been connected at all speeds too. lol

Dialup? Yeah, and I`m listening to my 8 track as I type on my Commodore 64!

You suckers! Where are you Jngr? Little House on the Prarie?! :lol :lol :lol

T1 at work, Cable at home. What a dream.

My situation is the same as Jngr`s -- T1 at work, 28 or 31 dial-up from home. There are some pages that just freeze up when I`m on dialup, such as the thread with all the "self-reflection" pictures. So I just skip those.

Work: T1/T3

Home: Cable Modem (Soon to be 3MB/500kbps)

Hey, its sad but true. If I lived one block east then I would have it. If I lived on the other side of the street to the south then I would have it. I have no idea why I can`t get it where my house is located. Its not something I expected to run into when I moved here last year. Even my dialup was faster before I moved here and I had cable access. I didn`t have a garage though.

I`ll sacrifice high speed for the chance to park my car in a garage every night. I don`t spend much time at home online except for Sunday night anyway.

its true, i had DSL and got rid of it. It was slower then dial up for me. I was too far away from the loop link. Mean while the person next door to me was able to have DSL. In a way i am glad, cable modem is soooooo much better.

:sosad I`ve heard of that happening to people. But garage access is a worthy trade off. :xyxthumbs
