I have the exact stats on what connection types YWS members use, but that blurs active members together with one-time visitors.
So I'm hoping to get some data from active members. If you're confused as to what connection type you use, ask one of your parents. |

Woot for college high-speed Ethernet and wireless. ^_^ Really depends where my laptop is... but it's all high-speed either way.

none of the above, we have wireless that connects to the 3G mobile network here in Australia
bit unreliable if the network is down (which sometimes happens) but its cool cause we can go pretty much anywhere and have internet, as long as the laptop battery doesn't run dry and you have reception, which is pretty much everywhere
edit: just realised i put my vote into the wrong catergory, instead of none of the above, it should be in other high speed, sorry bout that |

| I have uhh 4meg broadband I think, or is it 8... I'm not sure, but it's Virgin Media and it LIES about how fast it is. Whatever I'm meant to have, I get about 2 most of the time, 4 if I'm really really lucky. And my computer is shinyspeedy too so it's not like it can't handle. Meh. I was gonna get cable 10meg but it just took too much messing around and we would have had to change our phone number... blahblah. |

Your computer's operating system isn't the internet speed. Just had to point that out
Anyway, I'm DSL. Yup, I remember; we spent a week having a go at the provider because it didn't work |
