Elite.Pete Posted August 24, 2005 CID Share Posted August 24, 2005 I wasn't sure where to put this but i'm just curious about what people have had in the past / have now 1)AOL - 56K (Terrible) 2)Verizon DSL - 1.5M/128k (Good at the time) 3)Speakeasy DSL - 3.0M/768k (Loved it at the time) switched to Comcast because of insane price for dsl at that speed at that time. 4)Comcast 3.0M/256k (Loved it at the time) 5)Comcast 4.0M/384k (Loved it at the time) 6)Comcast 6.0M/768k (Loved it at the time) 7)Comcast 8.0M/768k (Couldn't be happier with it) - Unless it was faster of course Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/7131-post-your-internet-service-providerspeed-history/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
