KS,

Cable & DSL are day & night difference, you won't believe how fast it is!! I would NEVER use anything else than cable!!

Listening to a sub is just as fast as listening from my HD!

What do you mean, by having the songs "finish loading so that they will start"? Just curious:) I am nosy.

I've used cable, DSL , and wireless at my own residence, satellite at a friends.

Cable is a shared medium which means that everyone in your neighborhood shares the bandwidth. During peak time the speed may seem to drop but it will pick back up once you're out of the 'peak' times. Cable usually has more bandwidth than DSL on the back side connections and sometimes they allow 'bursting' above the 'limits' put on your cable modem.

DSL is dedicated bandwith. DSL quality will vary greatly depending on how far you are from a CO (central office). The farther you are away the lower you maximum bandwidth will be. You will almost always have the same download speeds because it's dedicated bandwidth just for you and doesn't impact others until the backbone connections w/ your provider (which are sometimes inadequate on DSL).

Wireless was GREAT. They put a small (12"x12") panel antenna outside and I got both cable TV and internet over the single panel. Worked wonderfully and I had great bandwidth. Not available in all areas though - mostly found where new infrastructure isn't available or too costly to install. www dot awcable dot com. This is the provider I used - and I'm sure they don't compete w/ the sponsors since they only provide internet/cable TV services in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Satellite has excellent speeds but the latency is horrendous. You submit a request and then it seems to take forever to get the page up. If you flip pages constantly you'll go crazy, but for large data transfers it's great. (I used satellite at a friends house).

Dunno exactly... just seems like a segment doesn't come across with will complete the window xfer.

I'm worshiping the Female Version of Buddha!

Ok.. I was was just nosy.. I thought maybe you had to wait for the whole song to load/download to be able to begin listening.. maybe things are different for macs vs. pc... because, I don't have to wait for anything.... Lol, i have no idea what I am talking about now, so, ignore me;)

I have DSL myself .. but the song starts the second I push "listen".. no delays. Seems to stream right away.

My highest number of views is 77 (woops.. 81.. just checked it).. and the song? Green Acres! I have always kept track of the views in a notebook and I keep checkin it from time to time to see which songs are still getting listened to.

well that's cause yer cute, and you sing Terrific!

Awwwwww... shucks! Thank you Matt... I think it's more the fact that I have family that check in with this site daily and listen. You were talking about my views right? Or is that why my DSL is fast? heheh..

ummmmmm.....nope its cause your cute !!!!!!...............
..................................oh yeah and you sing great !........
oh and your cute...did i mention that already.........batman never lies !
