Hi,
I recently got a new PCMIA modem with Ethernet built-in. It's a great wee
thing (unlike the Pace modem it has replaced, what a waste of money that
was, from the worst modem manufacturer on earth) but has suprised me a
little when downloading...
I regularly get 9.2K a second download speeds.... from a 56K modem!
I thought it was just the speed being reported wrongly but I've seen that
kind of rate retained since for 3 minutes and more! That's a 2MB file
downloading in 4 minutes!
How can that be possible? I have a cable phone line, is the reason for the
56K limit that BT lines are just too crap, noisy and weak? I connect at
115,000 by the way. :)
All the best...
Conor
