Chaps,
i`m sorry i have to butt in here ...
the young man in question did say he had TWO 64k links .....giving him an
"aggreagte" of 128k...
also i have to agree and disagree( it not easy bieng me you know) about the
line speed ....
yes with Dial you only get 64k and that`s it but i HAVE downloaded files a
LOT FASTER than that..
let me explain .....
at 5am on wednesdsay morning i, on my dial-up started to download a
file....To my utter surprise the file download box was saying 100k a second
(that is of course impossible)..it then slowed to a hum-drum 30k a second
.....download time 8 mins.....
i tryed the same file again at 6pm (deleted original by mistake... DOH) and
this time i got a lesuirely 5k per sec download time 40mins......
I can`t (be bothered to) explain it ...
but it just goes to show ......never believe the download box .......
" the truth is out there".......STOP THE SERIES...IT`S NOT THE SAME WITHOUT
THEM
