- So how much difference does a 33.6k really make?
-
- And another related question:
- What sort of typical transfer rates do you get for ftp over internet?
-
- Is this more or less than your modem transfer rate (in other words,
- for internet access, where is the bottleneck: the 28.8 connection to
- your ISP, or somewhere out there on the 'net)? If the bottleneck is
- not the connection to your ISP, then why get a 33.6?
