"28.8k speed"

Sounds pretty dumb, but has the 28.8k modem sped up?

I'm on a different laptop than usual and it used to be a 28.8k modem. Yet it seems like the usual speed I use at home which is 612k.

Also, another thing I just found out is that the neighbour has a 10mb line, which I didn't even know existed. And this line thingy is probably connected to it.

Anyhoo. Is there any way of finding out the speed of your connection? I had a site in my faves folder but lost it.

Cheaars..

Check your download speeds.

Ah dear.. I'm so dumb! It says Connected at 44,000bps..
And I was wrong, it's a 56k..
Strange though, it's acting like a 612k..

Thanks Joe Dark :)

In your taskbar thingy in the bottom right hand corner of your screen icons should appeaer when you are connected like two computers, click on this and a box will open that shows you your speed.
