At what speed do you surf?
I am interested in learning at what connection speed most hobbyists hook up to the Internet? I am launching a site soon and it will be a rich media visit , with video and Flash animation.
The problem is there is such a gap between dial up and even a slow DSL connection, that designing a site for both the slow visitor and the fast one is becoming a dilemma the question is :
What speed is typical?
4KB/s.......... 35KB/s ....or 100KB/s
Thanks jeff

DSL at a 100, but I doubt I am actually getting that. It starting to seem slow to me.

Jeff,
Your best bet is going to be to build for both. If you want a flash intensive site, you can have a link to an html site as well. There are still a lot of people out there with dial-up. Once you have the flash site built, an html version is a piece of cake.
