<font color="snow">Average speed on 56k: 4kb/s
Average speed on my new ADSL: 16kb/s

Much better, and the price is similar as well [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Whoa, if that's all you're getting on ADSL you have a problem. You should be around 300kb/s-400kb/s at the very least.

I have been using 56K for the past 3 year. I just applied for an ADSL connection, should be in any moment now... Sheesh, I really hate all this waiting game.

<font color="snow">No, its capped at 128k/s with translates roughly and in pracitce to 16K/s</font>

DSL won't be available for a year or so, where I live in the boon-docks.... [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img] , but we have it at work, course with 500 computers on the mainframe, even ADSL is slow when everyone is on the net at the same time.......

Ok 128kbs is 16k a second they do the measurements of internet speed in kilibites a second not kilibytes a second you have to divide the number by eight to get actuall k's a second as most are regulary looking at it, its a markiting play on the retailers part to fool people into thinking its faster than it really is just so you know.

Still on the 64K dialup - damn that blown hot water system - when I get back from my holiday (that's the other expense) I will sign up for 512K broadband.

<font color="snow">No, because I only need one line (it splits the line) and now I am paying the same as I was for a dial-up account with an extra phone line. And there is no download limit, I don`t pay per MB. There is no competition either, cable isn`t here yet. :(

And Blade, yes I know ;) </font>
