- My connects depend on who I'm connecting to. Netcom is usually 24000,
- with an occasional 26.4 and more 21.6's than I'd like to see. I also
- tried two local isp's and the connects were 75% 28.8's with one, 100%
- with the other. Most of the rest of the local isp connects were
- 26.4's. All use, or at least claim to use, the same Courier
- v.everythings. I don't know why Netcom is consistently slower, unless
- they have things set up more conservatively. I'd suggest connecting
- elsewhere before trashing the Supra.
