223 kilobytes sec. My USB modem used to be 160/70. So a speed increase. Now we wait and see if I kep getting dropped.
One major problem during the install. My network port was set up for firewire and I couldn't connect with IHUG. Luckily I found the driver I wanted and was away like a fly up a cow's backside.
Six hours to change a modem. Not bad for me. :D :D

I reckon Jack must have a veritable elephants' graveyard of computer bits that didn't make the grade. :D

Cheers

445578 2006-04-11 09:58:00 Just come and look in the back of my garage BillyT. I'll have to do a trip to the tip soon. It's getting harder to get my car in.
As a matter of fact I did a clean up under and behind my desk yesterday and found 4 56k modems and 3 keyboards.Also packaging for god knows how many computer parts.
Also piles of ash and empty cigarette packets.
And I know someone who is going to complain about her vacuum bag being full again.

Seriously though, the next time someone says an ethernet router/modem is better than a USB one. I will agree wholeheartedly with him. 30% faster!!!!

445580 2006-04-12 07:43:00 Wow, it looks like we have had our local exchange upgraded:

"Your line speed is approximately 3394.6 Kbps or 416 K bytes/sec"

Edit: But PF1 doesn't seem any faster :)

pressf1 alweays seems to lag a bit when you first load a page no matter how fast your connection is. Perhaps it is a victim of it's own popularity?
