Insane Dial Up Speed!!! - ralgith - 08-25-2010
I'm using a free dial up service here in Michigan called DialInFree. Its provided as a public service by a Michigan based BroadBand ISP.
Lately I've been getting some amazingly insane speeds for dialup.
I've got several screenshots of it. Now keep in mind that 147Kbps (kilobaud/sec) is 14.7KBps (kilobytes/sec). Still, thats pretty high throughput for dialup. It gets better though, I didn't capture a screenshot fast enough, but a download I was doing was going at 128KBps, yes thats the B not the b!! I was able to nab a screenshot of it at 48.3KBps though. Sure this is spotty, and never lasts more than 2-3 minutes... but while it does last its very nice.
The crazy download:

And 3 shots of the Network monitor with the crazy high speeds otherwise:

Sweet.

Wow!
Sure beats the average 24 - 48 kbps that the normal advertised 56 kbps dialup connections usually produce.

I, I, just don't know what to say. Not because that is so fast, but because I don't know what it means. I have no idea how many kbps I run at, or even how to find out.
