The connections here at uni are dial up.

I'm meant to have a 56k modem in my laptop but I can only connect at 33.6k EVERY time...

Maybe they lied? Or the connection is crap...

Still though, to connect at the same speed everytime must mean somethings not right, there's either a limit on the connection speed through NTL or the modem is 33.6k.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

*goes to investigate*

He probably does actually, because I do.

Say it takes 5 seconds for his post to be displayed on his computer. On mine it takes a fraction of a second, to if I refresh the screen at exactly the right time, I'll see his post before he's even properly posted it.
