♥monte22 Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 Sorry, thought I added T1 or above, if you have this just vote for DSL/Cable. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxly Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 These aren't the people that you need to be concerned about. I just left a job as a Customer Service Rep for a company that is online and offline and I can tell you that there are a lot more people on 56K and below than you want to think about. And in the US you have to consider WebTV as a major part of the shopping community that you want to get to come online and buy from you.

loxly Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Brenden, that puts over 10% at 28.8 and lower, so that to me is a significant amount. Back to optimizing photos! [no external urls in signatures please, kthanks] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥monte22 Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 Yes, I realize now that an osC forum is not the best place to obtain scientifc results, especially seeing that 100% of people have broadband or above. Thanks Breden for the stats, and Deborah for your insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxly Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Developers and shoppers are two different groups of people, even though developers are shoppers too :) I can give a lot of insight on shoppers, but most people don't like what I have to say because it means they have to "dumb down" their sites, drop the flash and the fancy graphics, and, god forbid, use lots of text and language that they don't want to. Forums=Message Boards=BBS 90% of new shoppers don't know what an FAQ is or how to use it if they did click on it Just a couple of quickies. And ... one last thought ... Google, although important, isn't the only way to get SHOPPERS to your website..... [no external urls in signatures please, kthanks] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
