Is your dialup as fast as it should be?

[Rose]

Does this thread go here? I dunno.

(I use the term dialup, though I mean any kind of connection)

Anyway, do you have a good connection on the superhighway to life?

CNET bandwidth meter can tell you if you're getting the most for your dialup dollars.


At home I'm at 2055.4 Kbps, which looks pretty nice on the little graph they provide.

I'm on cable at home. dsl at work.

I actually got that. Now if only it was always that fast...

443 kbps at home on the cheapest DSL package. I think I was supposed to have 384K (that's the lowest DSL speed listed on the graph), so I guess I'm doing pretty well.
