I have 56k at home and have NEVER been able to connect at better than 32000.
It irritates me even more that instead of tossing the old 33.3 or whatever it is modem into the computer, I allowed my wife to grab one at Staples... she picked up an external one for around 60$ :| I quit going online from home.

You "allowed your wife" to do something computer-related?
:shocked:

I think you should get out, find a job, a girl and stop spending 24/7 infront of your computer, tubby.

I appreciate your checking up on me, really. The attention is flattering! Thanks for making my day, buddy!

I don't check ATOT from home; it's all at work. I have better things to do than sit infront of my PC 24/7 and post senseless topics for attention, but thanks again for the attention. I feel all warm and fuzzy now.

Only if you're into online games like EQ and WoW, really.

or when i was on 36.6k then 56.6, AOL's MM would take days to download..... now that's some life
