Some may not be aware that other conditions besides ISPs may affect
download efficiency. For example, ancient Telstra cabling in my district
restricts my 56k connection to about 30k, often less. Clearly some of us
are more fortunate than others.

I'm waiting for some wag to tell me to move to another district  :-)

--------- Paul Kitchener's comment about ISPs --------------

PS Sorry about leaving the previous thread in this message, I think
it is probably apt. If a 56k connection has probs with text Id be
looking for a new ISP or something.
