Settle The Download Speed Issue Once And For All

[Amarjit]

akitotinkawa2 wasn't lying.

I was once downloading RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 and it was downloading a stable 40 Kbps on a 56 K. Of course this was 0:00

my 14.4 is so fast, it's capable of downloading physical objects.  a corvette popped out of the modem this morning.

and i won the nobel prize for science, so i know what i'm talking about.

Now thats creative, nothing like sarcasim.

On a serious note don't you guys feel this post most STOP
Where's Bender, shut it down.

akitotinkawa2 you have been taking a lots of crap. Let me add something
to this download speed thing that I have not seen. We are talking about downloading from the internet so the location from where you are downloading and how many Nodes (carriers) you have to go through makes
a different. You can have T1, DSL, Cable or a 56k but if the other end or any thing in the middle nodes is slower. You get the picture.

unless the kids telephone lines are like CAT wires, then infact he would be running DSL wich he may very well be unknowingly sence in fact DSl does "dial up".... then hes a fruit. i dont give a damn if the server is next door to you 56k is 56k... u may burst 40kb for about 1-5 seconds... but there is no way in heaven or hell your d/ling constantly on your "56k" at 40kb/s DOWN....Unless iv missed something and infact you mean KiloBITS then yes you prally do download at 40KiloBits/s thas 56k speeeds... but not KiloBytes...

Your quotes display a modicum of wit about modem users, your question contains absolutely no relevance, and insinuates bigotry on your part. I hope the moderator will remove it.

I connect at 115,200 bps. I just downloaded a movie today at 285,000 kbs. I think it is possible to get atleast 40,000 kbs out of a 56k modem. Only if you know what your doing.

[Somebody1234]

@akitotinkawa2, you have obviously never had highspeed internet.

1 byte contains 8 bits

Maximum download speed of your 56 kilobyte per second modem is less than 56/8=7 kilo bits per second.
Maximum download speed for my DSL is 1.2 megabytes per second that&#39;s 1200/8=150 kilo bits per second.

So my DSL is about 21 times faster than your 56k.

And my connection is not the fastest DSL or T1 or Cable.

I&#39;d be happy just to get my 56k to dl at 5.5KBps consistantly. I have had dl&#39;s at 5, but usually 3.5-4 is max

WTH&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; you get 3-4? My 56k maxes out at 2.75&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; (My phone line might be noisy, or some shit)
Ya, and whoever started this post MUST have been joking
