Post #281,875 by Andrew Grygus 4/15/07 12:53:59 PM Reply	I've been watching my 1.5 mbps DSL line . . . . . while doing downloads for years. Only one IBM server was ever able to saturate the DSL. Conclusion: a faster service won't do me a bit of good because the servers out there can't deliver anywhere near 1.5mbps. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Was getting too many errors and dropped packets. The tech turned me down to 768K and I'm good again. Before this week, I had been no higher than 384K. === Kip Hawley is still an idiot. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Downstream is quite respectable, however I manage a server or two in Canada and uploading data to them happens at a mind numbing 45k/second. Most annoying. We posture as apostles of fair play, as good sportsmen, as professional knights-errant-- and we throw beer bottles at the umpire when he refuses to cheat for our side...We save the black-and-tan republics from their native [statesmen]--and flood them with "deserving" democrats of our own. We deafen the world with our whoops for liberty--and submit to laws that destroy our most sacred rights...We play policeman and Sunday-school superintendent to half of Christendom--and lynch a darky every two days in our own backyard. H.L. Mencken, 1914
