    Do you have wired or wireless internet? Are you satisfied with what you have?

    I'm on wired Verizon FiOS. Speeds are pretty great so I've no issue at all but it would be better if I didn't have to use my laptop as a WiFi hotspot for my phone/3DS/Wii U to connect, heh. I know FiOS offers wireless options as well though so I should look into that (or a router).

    We have wired on the pc and it's a lot better than the wifi on my phone, but even then it's not that great... So no, I'm not satisfied.

    Wireless on everything. I drag everything around with me, so having something wired is really a hassle for me. I'm pretty satisfied with wireless besides the fact that my devices disconnect from it really easily.

    Wired connections aren't viable here unless I use homeplugs. They're a bit of a pain to set up in themselves because we're short for electricity outlets near the home router. So, wireless has been our go-to choice. That's been giving us a lot of hassle though. Short of physically disassembling the router itself, I've tried everything from portforwarding, lowering firewalls, screwing around with packet sizes and our connection is still the pits.

    If I wanted to get wired connection on my computer, I'd have to pull a cable all the way from one side of the house to the other side. I considered it, but my mom didn't like the idea (who would've thought :P) So yeah, wireless for me, although I did have to buy an extender for the WiFi connection -_-

    I'm a wireless man! I could- potentially- use an ethernet port on my modem, but there's no reason to... And I'd rather have the mobility.


    Speed wise, I'm rocking Fibre broadband! A nice 50 down, 20 up for me on a bad day... So, I'm content.

    I'd love gigabit internet- but beggars can't be choosers!

    I strongly prefer wired networking and Internet connections over wireless any day. That said though, on my laptop, I'm almost always on Wi-Fi connecting to my Frontier DSL router/modem. For all my desktops, it's wired Ethernet connections.

    I used to be a hardcore wired internet person, but that changed a couple years ago. I used to have a laptop that was required to stay in it's place, like a desktop. But now I have a new laptop and I use wifi for everything.
    Laptop, phone, Xbox, etc..

    I prefer Wireless. I have Comcast, the speed is really great for what I need and the service is pretty good.
