I am happy too...i only download small files and nes games from internet, so is enough by the moment

With my scan collecting and stuff. 56k won't do really. Plus collecting OSTs would be a pain.

nah, i'm happy right now with my 512/256 Kbps broadband internet :P music, movies and pictures, i download often... well, that's my sister (and her boyfriend) who likes to download shit like a mad!

yeah, the day you get a broadband conection you will enjoy PS or N64 (and above) games ;)

hail

56k is fine by me!!! Patience is still a virtue...

If I wanted a huge file, I'll ask someone with broadband to download it for me and burn it to a disc.

I have a DSL, but the same thing u said " im proud to say i downloaded WinUpdate in 1w", thx know i have something much better... but i feel your pain, someday it will be faster and every 1 will said proud i burned my 56kbps ^^

I remember when the US Robotics Courier 2400 baud was considered "blazing" - which, I guess, it is, compared to 300-1200bps some of the other modems on the market were doing.

Stepping up to a 28.8 was like putting nitro in the tank. 56K? Warp speed, Scotty.

Now that I have broadband, though, I really couldn't go back. Too painful to watch that bar only move every ten minutes on downloads. Windows Update would be a nightmare. I wouldn't even want to think about Sun patch clusters...

You all must be very lucky to have broadband in your area :D , here only one local company who monopolize tellecommunication sector (and yes, they're supported by local regulation too, even though their right will expire this year...finally after many years) that's why the phone tariff are per minute for local with outrageous price that increase every year.
Not to mention their adsl price for unlimited is about 25x times more expensive than same adsl at other countries (my friend who is currently study abroad have broadband and he seems to be very happy with his internet connection, damn I envy him ^_^' ).

it's been years since my first 14.4 k modem - netscape 2.0 - tcp ip connection software (yup no microsoft dial up) :D , and now I still didn't feel huge change in speed aftar all these years with my so called 153 kbps wireless internet connection.

he he (i think i'm only the unique who have a 56k modem)i've a external modem in 56kbps and yes is a normal modem and are a bit fast than internal , the internal have a great problem
they toast ^_^' my brother and i ,we toasted 4 internal modems ....

the lesson don't connect to internet when is lighting ^_^'

cool! i has got 56kb and i dont remember the problems when anyone wants to call :(

2 phone lines, 56k, the cleanest phone lines in town, and my PC can download 100 megs over a night. That's good, because I can't imagine my CD consumption should I have broadband!
