Ironicaly I still dont understand this Dial Up Havic! KBPS stands for KiloBits Per Second, Bits are a completly diffrent mesurement standard for Computers *** sene here:
There are 8 Bits in 1 Byte
There are 1024 Bytes in one KiloByte
There are 1024 KiloBytes in one Megabyte
So in all reality shouldnt my modem be running at 1/8th of the number it claims? 56kbps should be roughly 7(Kilobytes per second). Now I know cirtan factors fit into play, such as Distance from your Dial-Up server and things like how well your Anolog Phone port is connected to your main phone line.
However, nothing has changed for me (Except for a couple of Re installs of windows.) I have not moved my computer, swiched phone lines or anything like that, not even ISP's or my Software version.
Mabye I will just assume that Aol is lowering their bandwidth because they are running out of money LOL DIAL-UP SUCKS!
