no, nothing can really speed up 56k

 

even 56k dialup services that say they are high-speed is a lie. What they actually do is have you use their browswer which contains algorithms to compress web pages to smaller sizes so they don't load up as long. I think all they really do is remove the comments and white spaces on scripts and html files.

don't worry; once the speed of the average broadband connection goes up + get's cheaper, 56k modems will be useless.

 

For ex, Verizon released a service in a few states that was $30 or so a month for a 25mb down/12mb up (or so, I forgot) connection.

 

btw...they aimed to target users in their own homes

I get around 6k a second for most downloads. I can also play Half-life 2 on local servers with around 190 ping which is pretty good for dial up.

Tips: When ever possible, find a local mirror for your downloads. Also if your connecting at anything less then 40kbps, complain to your phone company and tell them to fix it.

i guess it hopeless eventually i'll get cable but its a little expensive

 

 

SBC Yahoo DSL is cheap. $14 a month for a pretty fast connection.

shiit, that's less than Gay Oh Hell

 

but then again, not everyone lives in the u.s ':) so it's not fair to suggest an ISP available to us only
