My share of 8 T3 lines at university
Crappy 56K at home

Oh well. What with the recent drop in ADSL connections (now about £30 pm for a 1/2 Mbit connection) I'm going to get that installed PRONTO as soon as I get a more permanent place. Probably going to be sharing it with serveral people over ethernet, but I'm going to be the only one with:

a) the insatiable thirst for DJ sets
b) the stability to keep going 24/7
c) root access to the server

I have been sick of 56K ever since I started using the net, but I wish I could afford a T1. They're about to start charging per megabyte in America for some ISP's, and it won't be long before that happens here too. Full leased lines (ie you don't share them with anyone) are damned expensive.
