For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it.

I'm still waiting for a lag patch. Whenever I start talking to someone, everything freezes for a moment, and next thing I know they're gone.

I'm still running on a dodgy graphics core... when I turn ray-traced shadows on, I get dramatic slow downs. It sucks.

You do know thats not your real connection speed right? I have the same and I think it's the speed between your parallel port and the modem (assuming its external). Don't quote me on this though.

Quoted.  

Actually, that is the speed at which the computer's bus (PCI or ISA) communicates with the port itself. The modem is just limited to that speed.

It happens mostly when I get dizzy... things just disappear of their own accord...  

And, hell yes, that's a lot of stuff out there.  

Oh, and by the side, I connect at 56,700 (used to be 24,000 on my 28.8 - h4w!).
