Default Do you feel secure?

Do you feel secure on your broadband service? I feel secure, I haven't had a problem in 3 years of service. But friends of mine seem to have had problems.

I feel pretty secure on it. I have had fewer problems with my broadband service than I ever had with dial-up, it seems, and the occasional outage is no big deal compared to the loooooonnnnngg wait times on dial-up!

Feel darn secure with it now that I have moved to a different area of the city. In the old place the problem wasn't the cable service it was the power going off all the time and the power company being slow to repair the problem, of course, effected more than just the cable service.

I've had a few ups and downs, but nothing major. I've seen a few outages, but it was only for a few minutes. The max was a day when a tree broke the lines.

I feel secure. I think some people just get a little paranoid and fear anything internet related. I'm just not that way. I'll probably change if anything bad happens, but for now I feel safe.

Yes,I feel more secure on broadband than I felt on dial up.Several times, when I was doing an internet transaction ,my dial up connection turned bad without any warning leaving me puzzled as to the whereabouts of my funds.Once, I lost funds as my dial up transaction died up on me.When I logged back in ,the transaction history showed that the money was transferred ,but it hadn't hit the account.Every time I decided to make a payment ,I had to check the internet speed so it didn't timeout.At least with broadband ,I don't have to worry about my money disappearing in cyberspace.
