Quad-K, Your not the first person to mention their slow download speed. What is their link address? I would like to look at it too. Thanks. Joe.

I have an old slow 56k and last night experienced a relatively fast load time. I did like the site but was not prepared for the Flashiness of it. Once I navigated around I was overall satisfied with the quality of the site and the speed. Now for the CD rates. Some of the best I have seen. That will bring a lot into the site and help the position of the bank. Good planning on their part.

Either A) You are lying about a T1 link... OR B) Everyone and their mother is checking out the site (c'mon, it's soooooo cool!) Anyhow, don't want to miss the marathon. No more arguing w/ a knucklehead. Welcome to the VeloSpeed $hitList. Oh, just went to the site again... ZOOOOOOOOOM! I'm out of the office today, only on a 56K modem and a dog of a phone line, still only took about 10 seconds! LOLOL -VeloSpeed

USAB site is in fact slow. But if they got rid of a lot of their garbage graphics and sound effects with echoes, they could improve the speed dramatically. Also they could give thumbnails instead of stars and pics. Assuming USAB were to improve the speed of their site, how would they compare with NTBK? How long before other banks get in on the IBANK craze. I presume the big bansk will screw up just like CPQ which could not decide how to just terminate their old ways of doing biz and just follow on the heels pof DELL.
