Title: Bye-bye slow speed dial-up!!
Post by: Latrobe on January 02, 2008, 08:03:59 PM

I'm happy. Thursday of next week I'll be getting a faster dial-up connection! Not sure if it'll be DSL speed, but anything faster than 37.2 Kbps is great for me! Maybe now I'll have less lag on AH2! *claps* :D

I will, when (and if) I get it. Last time they said they'd get us faster connection speed we waited 3 years and then they said we were outside the limited range for it. I'm hopin this time is for real.

Reason I ask is unless you shotgun 2 modems on 2 lines I thought 56K was the max speed for dialup. Inquiring minds want to know.

good luck with that Latrobe.

Hopefully you will sit still when we try shooting you now!

bit to Byte conversion? 3.72 KB/sec (whereas he said 37.2 Kb, KB != Kb) sounds right for a typical 38400 connection.
