DSL Reports isn't working for me, here's what the other one said:

Communications

508.1 kilobits per second
How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet

Storage

62 kilobytes per second
The way data is measured on your hard drive and how file sharing and FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.

1MB file download

16.5 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.

 

[XMan]

Are those speeds good?

I'm guessing my line isn't capped.

Welcome to 2000. Is the Nasdaq approaching 5000 yet?

Hey, man, it was cans and string there for a long time.

I finally moved back to civilization!

Congrats Xerox. I myself got DSL a little over a month ago. Feels good to be unchained from that 56K, doesn't it?

 

[RossMAN]

I've had DSL since October 99, can't live without broadband.
