Re: How fast is 1.5 Mbps?
Technically the max is 187KBps but in practice, what with noise on the phone lines and stuff, you're likely to get about 170ish.
Good deal tho' :01:
Re: How fast is 1.5 Mbps?
beware the fine print. i bet it says somewhere there is a download limit.
Re: How fast is 1.5 Mbps?
I had 1.5dsl before. It wasnt too bad. A world of difference in the dial up for sure. Im on a cable modem @4Mbs, and I dont see a very huge difference due to server bandwith. You cant DL any faster than they can UL. Anyway, for 20 bucks mo...its a deal. Of course, you'll have to buy a modem.

According to them, the modem is free. But it says something about buying an ethernet card. Isn't that the 10/100 LAN most mobo's come with? :unsure:
Re: How fast is 1.5 Mbps?

Most newer mobos will have the 10/100 built in, just look on the back of your box, it is a little bigger than the phone plug if you are unfamiliar with it.
Re: How fast is 1.5 Mbps?
i'd definetly go with the yahoo dsl, had it for 3 years and no problems. for 19.99$ thats a very good deal!

Whats a NIC?
@BigDaddy555
I still can't tell if I have the ethernet port for sure. This is my mobo:

Is this it?
Re: How fast is 1.5 Mbps?
yes that's is the ethernet/network port.
NIC = network interface controller...not sure if that last word was right but it's basically the network/ethernet card :P
