ouch... if you have carriers in your area I would look into DSL. It is fairly cheep these days and not a whole lot more than dailup... but you get tremendous increase in speed...

That is dsl

 

[deuce]

Oh... I didn't really read it closely... what speed do you have?

 

[bradofcanada]

This is the speed i got out of test.

236/3 kbps

 

[deuce]

humm... and that seems slow? Well I guess it is compared to what they are getting in Sacramento... 56Mbps coming inside just 2 years...

 

[bradofcanada]

Why is 3kbps upload fast?

 

[deuce]

You know I completely overlooked that part... is that you carrier's upload speed... or just what you upload with? You might be able to tweek it abit if your carrier gives you a better speed... otherwise you might want to look into switching to a carrier with a faster upload...
