Weirdy Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) no, nothing can really speed up 56k even 56k dialup services that say they are high-speed is a lie. What they actually do is have you use their browswer which contains algorithms to compress web pages to smaller sizes so they don't load up as long. I think all they really do is remove the comments and white spaces on scripts and html files. Edited November 16, 2005 by Weirdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdy Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 don't worry; once the speed of the average broadband connection goes up + get's cheaper, 56k modems will be useless. For ex, Verizon released a service in a few states that was $30 or so a month for a 25mb down/12mb up (or so, I forgot) connection. btw...they aimed to target users in their own homes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko_jacko Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I get around 6k a second for most downloads. I can also play Half-life 2 on local servers with around 190 ping which is pretty good for dial up.Tips: When ever possible, find a local mirror for your downloads. Also if your connecting at anything less then 40kbps, complain to your phone company and tell them to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
