connection speeds--was: Re: [expert] X or console wont start

[Bruce E. Harris]

I am suppose to have an ADSL link with 768kps download and 386kps upload speeds.
I ran a test on my ISPs homepage to see what my d/l speeds are for graphics and
text. The test showed speeds of around 30kps.

I contacted my ISP yesterday and was told even though I ordered 768kps, as a
home user my max speed is 432kps.

Am I missing something? Even with 432kps should a 300k file take less then one
second to load instead of the 30 secs it took?
