Go up one level in this thread


I just recently got DSL and i like it alot when the modem doesn't act up and
when the connection is reliable. I would reccomend it to anybody especially if
they play on ICC but like i said at times it has acted strange not running at
more than twice as fast as a 56K modem it is hard to say if it is the weather
the system or my phoneline but anyhow it runs for the most part at 122k a sec if
not more if i want faster i would have to get one of those new optical
connections where they go through a laser beam via satelite directly into your
head.

Seriously though, only T3's and Token rings and the like are faster but i think
few mortals have these in their homes unless they are named Bill gates.
One other thing if you download music sometimes what the other person has can
effect your speed but that might just be my imagination  (DSL-DSL better than
DSL-Cable???).
