OT: Take A Look And Can You Explain It?

I'm on dial up too and for the longest time I could never get more than 28.8 . Don't know where you are (no need to tell me) but since I've moved closer to a major street I now connect at 36k or 37.7k . I also agree with the theory that more people are off dial up now and that frees it up for those of us on steam powered computers and Beer Can / String connections!
I suggest you try to duplicate the conditions and see what happens.

Ack!! I still get 28.8. And that's on a good day. Funny, I'm only about a quarter mile from cable, but I can't get it here.

Good old twisted pair technology... nothing like it.

I'm using dialup with a 33.6 modem and the fastest download rate I usually get is 4 K/sec or less.

On rare occations my 600k cable (which normally does 60-80kB/s sometimes does upto 300kB/s

So spikes are not just for dial ups

I really wish I could have that speed all of the time tho
