We've got a few rules here that cater to the 56k crowd, however I can't remeber the last time someone here actually admited to having anything other then broad band. So, just out of curuiosity, who has what?

The dial up rules are actually nice because it means the pages here will load more or less instantly on high speed (and they do).

I hate to be the one that points this out but ISDN will never be better than 144K up or down and thats if you are able to use the D channel for data (depends on ISP) in addition to the 2 B channels. If you can't use the D channel then all you will get is 128K.

/me is currently stuck on IDSL at 144K. It's like ISDN because it's DSL over an ISDN loop.

I get about 2800down/680up according to DSLreports. I'm supposed to be getting 3000 down and unspecified upload, so I figure I'm doing pretty well.

FYI, ISDN is either 64k (single channel) or 128k (dual channel).

I have 10000/128 cable.

Isn't that what I said? Ok, well not exactly.... 64K per B channel and 16k for the D channel. Add it all up and you get 144K but only if your carrier support data over the D channel.
