I was having a conversation with a friend who is creating a blog, discussing image/photo sizes and how fast they download, etc.
I am curious…

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

I voted DSL (my home connection) but I often use my Blackberry and my workplace computer. I am so grateful for you and others who support a mobile version of their sites. Some websites are virtually useless on a mobile browser. One thing I can’t do on the BB from your site is view most videos because they require a flash plug in. Hopefully my next phone will be able view the videos.
I put cable even though my apartment’s LAN connection I use is probably a fiber optic T-something or other.
I usually connect with my mobile device via wifi (which is connected to cable). The future of the web should be HTML5 all the way.
I voted DSL but I’m using my Droid phone more and more.
I’ll just give you a basic diagram. It’s easier than explaining, and our setup is weird

I voted DSL. We have Earthlink DSL for the home wireless network. Great service.
Carrier pigeon??
Being Head of National Networks for a major corporation I don’t have a single Internet connection – I have dozens, mostly DS3 circuits. My tentacles are everywhere!
Muah hah hah hah !!!
DSL, however, as I use my Blackberry to keep up to date, sites (and particularly email) that are not mobile friendly are at a huge disadvantage. I get bulk emails from my church via e-invite that are impossible to look at or even connect to on my mobile. I have lost touch with a couple of groups as a result.
Call me crazy, but isn’t it simply the average connection speed we want to know? Granted, some things are never going to be as fast as others normally are — but even good internet services don’t always translate to a good connection speed on the very end of the receiving end.
I don’t have Internet at home-used to have dial-up until my sister had it disconnected-so I go to the library or the local B&N to connect. The latter’s connection ‘sucks’-the library is usually better.
I voted ‘cable/fiber optic’.
Hope you’re feeling better, Father Z!
The Cobbler makes an interesting point. I voted DSL but I use AT&T U-Verse service. They offer four levels of speed, 1.5 Mb, 3 Mb, 6 mb, and ~12 Mb download speeds. I believe cable and other phone companies offers various levels of speed.
I’d be interested to learn what download speeds are capable with mobile devices.
Brian, I have the “up to 6 mb” version of AT&T U-Verse, but voted “Cable” because it’s vaster faster than the DSL I’m familiar with. And, technically, I understand it’s not DSL (whatever DSL technically is).
DSL, though I have used Cable in the past.
One point to make here is that folks who read blogs on a regular basis are much more likely to have a high-speed internet connection, so the poll may be a little skewed. People who just use email and check their bank accounts online can do fine with dial-up, especially if they have voice mail on their home phones.
