Correction..
45k
45k
Damm, i only get 45kb...
hmm, I get 52k every time I log on, wooo!
So would setting it to 52k make more chances of it breaking down anyway?

56k over a standard phone line is illegal, the max you are allowed to use is 52k, any higher and it becomes too high for the lines to cope with and can cause errors and breakdown in comms.
my 1meg broaband conection is good enough for me.
got it running my PC and my Xbox Live simultaneously, no problems whatsoever

Unless you do what I did and badger BT to up the feed to through your line giving you a better connection.
Still I only ever get a 49k speed, maximum I got was 52k (wow). Hopefully though by the time Nintendo get the internet I will have Broadband in my area.

though it doesn't actually tell me what speed it connects at, just diagnostics etc, but no speed, damn, I just assumed it was 56k because it says 52000 bps in the box
