I checked with my ISP and found that I have a 468kps d/l link (it is rated at
768kps, but 468kps is the max home speed) and kps is bits not bytes.
I have seen Netscape showing d/l as fast as 66kps (and this is bytes and falls
in line with what my ISP is telling me). So, the 15k remark below seems right
to me.
