When you play all day with terabytes of storage, the difference between a kilobyte and a megabyte gets lost in the ether. I just wish I could get get 500MB/sec :-). Hmmm, an ISO in about a second.... I ran a speed test at bandwidthplace.com and it came back with: 4.4 megabits per second toast.net came back at 4642 Kbps. speakeasy (http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/) comes back with: Download Speed: 5468 kbps (683.5 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 340 kbps (42.5 KB/sec transfer rate) The speeds vary, of course, but on speakeasy they're all in the 5400+ range on downloads and 305-340 on upload. Good enough for me. The only complaints I have is on the upload speed if I'm uploading pictures to my ISP. And even that is not *that* bad. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts at ewilts.org
