Well, fortunately I had a logged in session. So this time, I was spared the misery. But I presume, there is a problem, as can be guessed from the relatively quiet situation here on CP. It's just that this time the sufferers are calm unlike last time when one of the sufferers made a big fuss ;-) Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain

I have been reduced to participating over a (s)lowly 56k link ;), that's why you haven't heard too much from me.

Slower than I'm used to. :) It's actually not too bad speed wise, but since they live out in BFE, the telephone line itself is unreliable, so I lose my connection quite often and that causes things to be slow.

Very true. A stable 33.6 kbps is better than an unstable 56 kbps that gets cut every now and then. Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain

Nish is a BIG fan of Goran IvanisevicI've NEVER seen a true 56k link to anything. 56k is a scam. The absolute best I've ever seen is 33k, and that was only once in a great while. Most of the time, it was 29.4 or so. And yeah, any analog dial-up is slow.

Are you sure BT didn't invent 56k modems? :mad: Our NTL line peaks out at about 48k (it's usually about 44k), and only occasionally drops down to 33k. I get the impression that a lot depends on the ISP too - some seem to connect at higher rates than others, even over the same line. :rolleyes: Having said that, we don't use it that often anymore since we've now got an NTL cable modem (512k). :-D Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd

According to that little ballon that Windows shows me when I've [finally] connected: 25.2 Kbps Out of that I can average almost 8 uploading and 4 downloading. :mad: :(( ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk "I loathe people who keep dogs.

I got 53.3 last night, but that's an anomaly - most of the time it's 48k or less. Jon Sagara "Ninety percent of baseball is mental, the other half is physical." -- Yogi Bera
