When i joined the internet in the 90's, i had 56k. It was painfully slow but i was able to play online games with a ping of 150 - 200. I tried to get DSL but was too far away from the CO, so i had to wait for cable to come to my area. Here are some speed results that i got from DSLreports.com


2003-01-14 20:58:42 EST: 1242 / 910
Your download speed : 1242857 bps, or 1242 kbps.
A 151.7 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 910470 bps, or 910 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!


These results are good but can be much faster with a properly matched modem & router and with some tweaking.

....broadband, there is no substitute !!
