Broadband internet is the way to go. Around the world, broadband internet adoption is growing while the number of dial-up users are dropping. The benefits in terms of speed, instant-connection (no need to wait for minutes for that long-ass dial tone), cost-efficiency and the like all favor broadband internet. Speeds are increasing and costs are dropping. Truly, broadband (in both wired and wireless 'flavors') is the way to go for high-speed internet access.

So let's go ahead and talk about anything that is related to broadband internet.

P.S.
Btw, I have a question:
What is the fastest internet speed known to man (today).

I've personally heard of 1000 Mbps/1 Gbps (aka Gigabit internet) connections. I think it's already being made available in some places like in Japan and in Hong Kong (using PCCW fiber-optic connections).

My question is:
What do you think is the fastest speeds that each method provides: Cable (using DOCSIS 3.0), DSL (probably through ADSL 2+), Wifi (probably Wireless N or Wimax 802.16 or 3G HSDPA/HSUPA or upcoming 4G), fiber-optic (like what Verizon does with its FIOS service in America).

And what do you think is the fastest???

Thanks
