For a minute there, I thought it was 1997.
And I use DSL.

Wireless Broadband. But I hate Cincinnati Bell. They are consistently unstable.

Me, I opt for DSL broadband at my home and at my sister's, cable broadband at my parents' place (wireless in all 3 cases), and also my 3G phone when out of the office.
broadband cable courtesy the great firewall of china. need a vpn for all the good sites.
But at least I'm not DIAL UP!!! hahahahahahahaha

DSL with a wireless router. Around here, it's cheaper than cable, but only barely.
Cable at home, phone when out.
Broadband cable and wireless from Time Warner.
I have 10Mb broadband cable at home, and mobile Internet when I'm away. The former is immensely preferable, you get so accustomed to faster speeds.
Cable broadband.
But hubby also uses his phone for email and Google when we are out and about.
We also have wireless, as hubby has a laptop but we rarely use it. There's my desktop, his desktop, the server, the cpu we use for a dvr, the laptop and a little backup computer that looks far too much like a toaster.
6 computers for two people, plus a G1 phone. Seems a bit excessive but that's what happens when you marry a computer guy.

Excellent service here in Canuck land 
I'm on DSL at home and something much faster at work (not sure what exactly). However, I'm about to move into a new house that's a few miles out of town, where neither DSL nor cable is available. There are a couple of wireless ISPs around here that I'm going to try, but I've heard some bad things about them concerning reliability, speed, and customer service, so it might be like going back to dial-up. I'm a little worried.

Because some people still live in a area where the only internet provider hasn't and won't upgrade the system.
Cable for me, but my parents don't have a choice. Despite people thinking that high speed internet is everywhere.
