Determine someones i-net connection

[bob]

I'm wandering if there is way to purchase if a client uses a: modem, ADSL or Cabel for there i-net connection.
The reason I want to know this is: when someone uses a modem I don't want to show a movie on my website. Do you use a high speed connection then you'll get to see the movie.
Is there anyone how knows a way to get this information?
thx

Hi,
because the client connection is a client-side problem, i think better to solve it with javascript help.

Index.php:

Make your home page, but check for a cookie too.
If not exist save current time in the cookie and put at the end of the page a javascript document.location=document.location (to reload the page...)

When cookie exist get current time and old time in cookie, take the difference. This value may be a clue for client tranasfer rate.
(save the class in cookie...)

You have to be care with cache too...

[edit]
thinking better, cookies are not indispensables, it's sufficent a user table or a file to store the values...

see you
