you said: "...Then I installed a 56K modem and get 28.8K downloads 99+ percent of the time, even though it is possible to get twice that...obviouly one or more of the required conditions are not being meet."
1. are you disappointed with the results, and were you knowledgeable about the possibilities that you wouldn't achieve anywhere near the optimum?

2. if you were in the know and yet still ended up disappointed, what do you think the less sophisticated will feel when their hype-inflated expectations aren't met? I just wonder who they'll be pissed at? Chances are it won't be their house's wiring or every link in the network that could be the cause; chances are they'll blame the modem mfr. or maybe their ISP if the speed difference isn't significant.

Just a guess on my part.
