Aus, I spend most of my time at 56K -- on principle -- because it it free and good enough for the task at hand. No one short of Big Bill or the CEO of Spint is rich (or follish) enough to surge at "fat" speeds. A few years back I actually had Sprint as a client and they had a hard time doing better than 64K with their remote I/O. I spent most of my original DSL time sending messages telling Sprint that "their pipes were full" because I couldn't get to my favorite sites fast enough (i.e. >56KB speed) You can spend a whole lot of money on T3 lines but your access will slow to whatever you choose to connect to. Or worse. Braggarts can say whatever they might. But facts are facts. Craig I feel totally inadequate with my measly 56K modem. Now the whole world knows.
