Message: [QUOTE="Rickideemus, post: 100713, member: 12677"]Is there something about a T1 connection that makes it seem faster than the bit rate would suggest? Something about the way it handles multiple streams maybe? I'll never forget how cool it was watching web pages pop up in under a second on a 386 PC. But now that I know it was just 1.54 Mbps, I can't quite ... collate?I get 15 Mbps downstream on a bad day (pays to make friends with the cable guy), but it seems pretty kludgy compared to that T1. And I have complete command of all the processes running on my PC ... I doubt it can be tweaked much tighter.Still, 1.54 Mbps is 30 times faster than 56 Kbps on dialup, which worked reasonably well back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. :drinks:R.[/QUOTE]
