How fast is 1.5 Mbps?

**Rip The Jacker** · 03-18-2005, 10:05 PM

As of right now, 1.5mbps is just fine compared to 56K. I'm just glad its only $20 a month, because I plan on buying a new PC this week also.

I was looking at their FAQ, and it said that their self-installation kit does infact come with a NIC. When it arrives, should I install and use their NIC, or the ethernet port my mobo already has? I just don't want the extra work, will it make any difference?

I use the ethernet port on my computer.It saves the hassle of installing drivers for the USB connection.

I have the SBC Yahoo Dsl 1.5 also, I didn't use their NIC and have had absolutly no problems.

Also someone earlier posted to read the fine print as there is probably a D/L limit, there is no limit whatsoever.

Awesome, I'll just use the ethernet port my mobo came with. I actually did read the fine print, twice, and didn't find anything about a download limit also.

I had 1mb for a while, as somone who over abuses his ISP and that fact that my FTP site owner said leech all you want (

) The max you can do is 16gb a day, with 480gb a month max, thats download only though. On it i managed to do over 400gb one month but i had tons of hdd space and my pc was hardly never off. I went from 56k>600k>1mb>1.5>3mb

The 1mb>1m5mb>3MB have all been free upgrades from my isp though.
