Windows XP Connection Speed

[Poprivet]

well, we knew that but

john7 did not when he decided
to troll on into the subthread and
validate your response, as if you needed
his help. And then use sarcasim to conclude
his worthless response to the o.p.

i don't disagree with the gist
in your posting. however, i don't believe
that i was wrong as well.

no one disputes what maximum kb the FCC regulates.
the point is that the FCC does not regulate
the "minimum" amount of kb's that an ISP wants
to provide on a 56k connection.

what i was suggesting is that although
ISP's sell a service for what we think
should be 56k, many are getting much less
than 56k. And i don't mean a difference
of 5 or 7 kb's here and there.

most users can read the standard connection rate
posted in windows but most don't know how to measure
what there upload and downloads rates
actually are. If they did i would guarantee you that
their isp is likely bottle necking the data stream and actually
providing an upload and download rate
of maybe 15 kb. Which is pretty sad since
the low end of dsl service is what 1.5megs?

here in America it is a common practice
to advertise one thing but you get something
else. And one cannot be surprised if
there is a degradation of service that will
induce a customer to upgrade.

i admit that maybe my initial
interpretation of the issue was not attributed
to the ISP that i factored into the equation.
but i was interpreting the issue from a
different point of view.

i suppose that if you wanted to be helpful, you could
have provided a solution, like our little
genius ELMO, then I would have seen
what the o.p. was trying to explain.

never the less i thought of the o.p.'s
response to be a frank and humorous.

not unlike when you are humored
when a sadd mvp decides to make
an unprofessional and unwarranted
remark about me....

i'm sure there are no hard feelings
between us "for we are gentlemen and scholarly"

but nothing wrong with rolling up
one's sleeves and .....







.

But that does zero to address the problem; how does the OP get the correct
speed reported? You answered a lot of unasked questions that wren't relevan
to the OP.

yes

i see your point and unfortunately
i could not anticipate or circumvent
the tangents.

but i think i found a helpful link
and posted it for the o.p. under
a cleaner sub thread.
