There have been a few complaints about some of the robust graphics around here (both in my site design and in people's signatures/avatars -- which can be turned off in your Profile). So, I'd like to see what kind of connection you all have. My hunch is that the vast majority of you have broadband and the images are not a problem for most of you.
Please vote and comment.
Whats the difference between DSL and Cable etc.
All I know is mines fast enough so as any load times dont bother me.
For example here we mostly have (A)DSL connections which mostly vary from 256kbps to 2mbps. I suggest you change to connection types to connection speeds.
Oh ok I have ADSL
I AM THE INTERNET
No.. but 8 mbit
Oh and yeah, the site loads really fast so thats not a problem..the only thing that slowed it down was VQ's sig but I turned it off
i normally have broadband but until april im limited to dial up
Doesnt bother me though
Here in the States (at least, from my experience), cable modem is generally faster than DSL. When I switched from DSL years ago to cable, it was twice as fast.Quote:

i vote that it gets rid of more problems than it causes and dialupers can wait

COOL
even better!
VQC's sig causes me problems.
It makes my underwear much tighter.
Super fast hear at school but with gay lag spikes so I cannt play FPSs anymore :(
At home slow but stable DSL
pretty fast!
Cable at home and T1 at work -- PIII at work and P4 at home -- both are bogged down terribly (and inexplicably) with the lights and snow on the left margin.
Dialup. Can you turn sig pictures only off (but not the rest of the sig?)
Negative.Quote:

cable.
good for poker and gaming.
if anyone's worried, I've had sigs avatars off for almost two years now and I haven't died yet. You can see boobs elsewhere.
