Hello all, Rather than going to a technical article, would someone here please try to explain, in non-technical terms, the reasons for varying d/l speeds with the dialup connections I am using?
Specifically: I have a Mac Mini with an internal modem @ 56k bps., and see a common connect-up @ 52k bps. Usually, the d/l speed is from 4kb to 6kb per second, as expected. However, on occasion I observe the d/l speed to be as high as 15kb to 17kb per second. What allows this to happen? ...and can I set something up to *make* this happen all the time? It seems like it's similar to a hardware handshake of some sort, but doesn't the Mini have a [software] modem? What gives? Knowledgeable input appreciated.
