I still see various topics with the warning label '56k Waring' so, I though I might ask if anyone still uses such archaic technology. In the process, I intend to find what the majority of people use to connect to the internet.

I myself, use Cable.

For your information, Australia didn't get proper ADSL until 2001.

Anyway, I use ADSL nowadays, but I did used to have a mix of ADSL and Cable (30mbits cable).

Dial-up because other forms of internet besides satellite are not available where I live. Neighbors have that HugesNet or whatever satellite and its slower than dial-up, plus it costs more.

Verizon FiOS, but I had Dial-Up until earlier this year.

Made a lot of the non-descriptive topics with you tube links pretty annoying. Plenty of people still have it slow folks.
