For anyone out there comparing connection speeds... Machine & Modem: iMac FP with 56k internal modem Internet Service Provider: Earthlink dialup Test Time & Place: 5:18 pm EST - Ohio USA Test Results: Raw speed: 36283.91 Communications: 36.3 k per second Storage: 4.4 k per second Estimated time to download a 1 MB file: 3.9 minutes Commentary: I regularly connect faster from home (location used) that I do from my business, which is about one quarter mile away. Why? We have relatively new switching gear for the phone service in our residential area. While at the business, I am in a historic (read ancient phone system) neighborhood on the edge of the central business district. It is not unusual to have a connection speed of 12,000 or below, mid-afternoon from the business. Ameritech claims it is because of all those added people on the western coast. I believe it is all those State Office (Ohio) workers playing on the internet mid-afternoon! Nancy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
