I don't know if this is fast for a 56k modem, but looking back at it... it's not bad for a dialup modem, is it?

I managed 25kb/s on my Freeserve dial up...

I got 1.8 meg in just over a minute!

Then again, I was downloading emails from my freeseve account!

I could easily get 18mb in an hour on a 56K. But now I have 512K so 18mb takes about 5 mins :).
