.............. much more to the point, what speeds are people GETTING

rather than using?   I've got a 56k modem but more often than I'd like I

regularly only get 14.4 in the evening out of BT internet.   Think the most

I've ever noticed is 40 something.


Anything that doesn't load quick at 14.4 gets dumped in the evening.  For

website market research purposes ownership of the equipment is not

necessarily the important factor in decision making.  Don't know why you

wanted the data Holger, but be careful with any conclusions you make!
