Sorry, comitan, but it won't hold a connection for me. My dialup here is 16.8k. They have a 20k button - but it tried to buffer for about a minute
then lost connection - 5 time I give up - but thanks for the site.

16.8 wow that is slow. cant you get that fixed some how. I was having trouble with mine a while back. I was only getting 42 but when I checked it out
I found that if I unplugged my fax machine It went to 54. I don't know why but I keep the fax on the other line now.

I have Prodigy Aire DSL also but my computer that has the WiFi or ethernet connection is down and this one only will handle dial-up. Before I got the
DSL, I connected at 54 regularly, but when they changed the equipment this is what I ended up with. Since I have the DSL, they don't want to put any
more speed in the dial-up than necessary for the phone. Hopefully I'll get the other laptop fixed soon and be back to my regular speed. Thanks for
your thoughts. Of course my Skype won't work with this but I'm lucky that at this time of year, my US cell phone (Morotola bag phone with Yagi)
works to the states without roaming.

We get a 128k connection through cablemas for 19$ a month. I don't do much downloading so it works fine for me.

Thanks for that link Hose A. The "speedometer" says I'm getting a 124k connection. I guess I'll consider myself lucky. I'll be the first to say
that internet service through cablemas hasn't been trouble free. The internet guys have been here 6-8 times in the few months that we've been
connected. Maybe the squeeky wheel gets the oil?

Bajalou try this site. when you go into this site on the upper right hand corner ypu will see bitrate check the 28.8 and the page will give you much
slower streaming speeds.

You can't get fired for incompetency. It's against the law.
I'm serious.
