ok here is something i bet you didnt know aol will tell you you hooked up at
50k or 57.33k and i recently got aol 5.0 to hook up at 115k but guess what
its not the true speed of your connection it only works for stuff that
directly coralates inside the aol application because it compresses the data
bieng sent so it seems like a high speed but ITS NOT!, your phoneline is only
capable of hanling up to 33kbps anything faster is a result of software
manipulation try running an external browser from their software it will drag
on and on, and in my case aol hogs the entire bandwidth of my phone line that
sometimes it cant even run properly, aol believe it or not the older software
like some of the first 4.0 versions operrated much more efficiently with your
system,
