DSL Providors

[Shaun Oliver]

Hi rodney,
with dialup, or at least in my experience,
the fastest upload you can get is 33.6 and if you're really lucky, you'll
manage to get the 50.6 K download.
however, practically this is not the case. I think it would be much better
to have good throughput rather than fast linespeed. connecting at
40,000Bps doesn't always mean you get excellent download rates.
As long as you remember 2 things here, 1. the internet is only as fast as
your weakest link, and 2. good throughput rather than fast linespeed, 
rememver these and you won't have too much to complain about. providing of
course your isp know what they are doing.
