RE: Bandwidth ...

Some nontechnical points --- at work I have T1 link to the net, and 33MHz cpu -- very annoying and slow -- not the net, but just jumping forward and back takes noticeable time. If we had any money, we would buy faster processors. At home I have Roadrunner (> 1MB/sec) and a 166MHz cpu. Downloads come in at > 30 kbs (measured)and 2MB/min (calculated) (on the 56k modem it was 5-6 kbs). It does better on video, but is far from acceptable. The main annoyance is visibly slow graphic display and slow printing setup. I think I need a faster processor and mmx and a better browser. In my opinion, both IE and Netscape suck.
