If they can get ANYTHING beside 56k, yes. I have dealt with so many people that don't want to "pay so much money" for cable/dsl even though a)its not that much more expensive, in some cases only a few bucks and b)so so much faster and eliminates a second phone line that people end up paying for so they can still talk on the phone (which of course makes dial up more expensive, defeating the whole point).

Now for those who are S.O.L., I feel for yah

I went to pcpitstop.com and got this when I did my download speed:

Download Size 500 KB
Download Time 5047 ms
Receive Buffer Not available
Transmission Speed 793 Kb/s

Is that about right for my 2mb connetion? :confused:

edit: It goes up and down a lot so I'm guessing people in my area are messing it up.. lousy bastards.

Chrono explained to me what the numbers mean, so it's all good now. I guess it doesn't help when others are downloading stuff 24/7 (thx guys :rolleyes: )
