Three. Wireless, DSL, and dial-up. Tip: Choose DLS over Wireless if you get a choice. Wireless= scam. I'm on a three year contract, and wireless worked for less than six months!

Just have cable. Why would we need more connections?

Somewhere i went for work experience they had 20 dialup connections, i was like what the... on the last day i said to my boss "You have heard of ADSL and a switch or hub, havent you". You should have seen his face
One, why would you need more?
Some companies like redundancy if one fails. I run ADSL and a wireless network. If it goes down I can jump on 5 other wireless networks in the building. Apparently no one uses encryption but me.Originally Posted by Cam
The dial up - haha.

One DSL connection... Soon to be two. Not for redundancy but for combining bandwidth.
Can't get cable because the minimum cost is $100/month since they want you to have a premium television package to qualify for Internet access. Since local cable service sucks (average of 3 outages per day), I switched to satellite and have no intentions of switching back.
One ADSL connection, shared via encrypted, secured, firewalled, unbroadcasted WiFi.
I have one ADSL and one dialup connection. The dialup is just in case the ADSL goes down.

Actually, now I think about it..we do have a dial up connection too...for our laptops when we are in a hotel somehwere that doesn't have highspeed yet.

excluding dialup connection guys! Dialup connections are a dime a dozen now a days!
Cable for home and dialup for when I'm traveling.
well, i got 1 open source aDSL line
1 cable connection (one of the fastest in North America. 500kbps downstream!)
and soon to have one wireless internet connection.
All this is run over a wifi internet access within my house.
Once we get the proper equipment i plan on broadcasting the wifi internet to my neighborhood
or if we wanna get all crazy, a 13 mile radious around my house
But it is still an internet connection, isn't it? I pay $8/month for mine, so it is not exactly a dime.

T1 connection, wireless, and dial-up for backup
Its less then a dime when you use free dialup connections
Blarg!! My current connection is why! Right now my dial-up is way faster than my 600K DSL!!!!!! DSL right now is like it's way worse than a 14K connection, there for I'm on dial-up right now!
