    Thanks CH for adding those two.

    and remember, you can vote twice, one for the ICM you have and the second for the ICM you wish to have.

    I have DSL from ATnT which is up to 384Kbps(pretty dern fast)
    i would love to have T3 or heck even have a Gigabit LAN uplink directly to my ISP

    You forgot Google TiSP (BETA)

    TiSP in-home wireless broadband is:

        * Free, fast and highly reliable
        * Easy to install -- takes just minutes
        * Vacuum-sealed to prevent water damage

       :D lol

      I like wireless but its more vulnerable to freeloaders and hackers and plus its not as fast as wired. but its really good when it comes to coffee shops, hotels and other public access points  :)

      I hate wireless, it's so unreliable and security is a nightmare.

        so true.

        Although T3 would be optimal most users aren't going to be able to get that type of connection at their home, even for a home business.
        i think that Gigabit LAN(1Gbps = 125MBps) would be a more avaible option and plus its faster than T3(43Mbps)

        Correct me if I'm wrong, but Gigabit LAN, by definition, is not an internet connection.

        Correct...

        It's a LAN connection...hence the term.  Should be removed from the poll, ya think?
