Damn well i hope it works out in the end, things like Vista and OSX and other HUGE downloads are technically impossible for 56k folks...

Though to Linomans credit, he seems to have all/more than i have

[RedInferno]

LOL, that's cause he uses account bonding (bonding fifty 56 k channels together)

Hey KW13

don't dismiss 56k altogether
before i got back on ADSL i had 33.6 max speed dialup

i used to DL 24/7 nonstop hauling 380mb per 24 hour period @ 11 gig a month

thats constant full speed DL 24/7
I downloaded 1.2gb vcd movies and 600mb Isos of various things.

heh actually I remember the dial-up days, had to sneak to the computer at night and log onto the internet, mom didn't save her password , so I could download songs, and wake up early to disconnect so mom wouldn't get pissy lol.

HaHaHa

before ADSL even existed in Australia i had a rule for 56k, 7pm to 7am was the rule for 56k connecting.

i had actually developed a biological clock in my brain for waking up at 6:59 am to disc the net then go back to bed no matter how late i went to bed, it was really amazing.

when i got ADSL, i kept on waking up at that time for at least 2 months before it finaly stoped.

when i moved and couldnt get adsl for 18 months there was this promo going in telstra where u can get a free second phone line aslong as u agreed to keep it for 2 years (24 month contract)

yup, can't say i miss those days, that was in the time that we had ONE computer in this housea dn had to share... I always pissed my brother off because I would run home get onthe computer and refuse to move till mom got home, then tell her that my brother was on the computer and wouldn't let me on LMFAO then she'd let me have the computer again... ahh I'm an asshole lol

Because in most cases it's illegal

[Visentinel]

MultiLink is not Illegal :|

[ShadowFox]

Who cares if it's illegal, just do it... you need the speed

my friend had his dialup on 24x7 - the phone bill was about $450 a month or so, lol, if i had to go back on dialup id prolly kill myself, lol, jk

[ShadowFox]

if you play that much a month.. it's cheaper to buy DSL, and PAY to have it installed lol
