Centurytel 1.5 Meg DSL. I use Firefox for most everything, and IE7 for government websites.

EVDO cellphone tether during daytime hours, junk cable connection at night.

Funny -- they're about the same speed, most days, which could say a lot for EVDO but more likely explains why local cable sucks.

Not for your primary connection, which is what I asked.

In your case, it looks like it's DSL.

Could you also add Wireless, and combine Slow DSL, and Fast DSL into just DSL cuz there's really no expressed difference, AFAIK.

Ah, that word was hidden in the poll itself. Sorry, I didn't see that.

But, if I had highspeed at home, that would become my primary connection for the Cellar.
