Sumbria, it was 56K in the store. And I don't know how it works, but it was noticeably faster than my 56K 300MHZ laptop I use at home. It was also interesting that the salesman was really pushing the faster internet speed. I looks to me like Intel could get a lot of mileage out of an advertisement campaign focused toward this feature.

We also have this problem in are area, even when you have a 56K modem, the local phone lines don't go much above 42K. And sometimes much slower.

Sometimes it depend on what street you live on what speed you have around here. I wish the governement would completely deregulate the cable industry! I believe we have the lousiest cable company in the country. Talk about a monopoly! The Justice department should leave Microsoft and Intel alone and fine itself for creating monopolies all over the country! :-)
