    (56k'ers look away....now.)

    Sustained loike?

    Mines 51k/s.

    That about right for the USB version, or could I get it higher?

    Around 60k for me too. I could have sworn i was getting 70k on one of my first few downloads but i have since revised that and assume i was just blinded by the excitement of seeing a progress line move quite fast.

    Let's hope we don't have to make that decision, and Eircom release it at €50 per month instead :)

    Btw, the eircom software (Enternet300) and the Alcatel modem do NOT work with XP, as I have just found out. Downloading drivers and updates on 56k is a pain ;\

    Btw I'm not gonna get jealous of you folks on VDSL etc cos I know how bloody lucky I am to have 512k ADSL :]

    Wee got it to work.

    Anybody who wants to use XP with the USB version, you'll need this upgrade:

    http://www.alcatel.com/consumer/dsl/STUSB_upgrade14.exe

    and then set up a LAN/Broadband connection using yer Username/PW.

    Easy :]

    wrong phaxx, this adsl is not always on, its pppoe,
    a better question s how long have you managed to stay connected for, me it was 1 and a half days.

    btw its about 60 downloads and 18 uploads max, as you all know these arent going to go up and down wildly

    ITs really strange,I am getting on average 60-70k but down on taskbar my connection speed is reading "4.0Mbps".I have not tried numerios downloads to test this out yet.Couple of questions

    1)I am using Xp,how do I take a screen shot of just the connection info and not the whole screen so I can post it here

    2)Even though my downloads are good my pings to here are quite high(160-180)

    Put Connection Status window in the foreground, Alt + Print Scrn and then go into Paint (or whatever) and press Ctrl + V?

    That should do it...

    I can get 300K/s in college.

    Your college mustn't love you then. I regululary go over the 1 meg mark on my shell , but then again, that is at 2 am or so :)

    740k at work .....all hail to the great fiber optic link, it actually went down there about a month ago cause some idiot with a jcb did a grat job in snaping the cable, thank you Dublin county council, but for adsl between 50-60k a second is the norm, when you hear people say they got 130 its when the modem is trying to sync ( like when you first try to download from a 56k and you getting a download speed say of 26k but then falls to the norm of 3-5 k after a few secs)
