I just got off the phone w/my new phone /internet provider for Inverness, Florida & as of today they can only offer me 786K for speed . They R checking this week to see if I can get 5.0 & then they will call me. On a good note, this company is only temporary cause I will be switching once I move to a permanant address, then I will be able to to get 10BPS or 15BPS . So we will see.

I have no idea what that is. All I know is I finally got rid of my dial up and now I have DSL!

But congrats on your fast computer thing.

No congrats yet, 786K is just faster than dial up . I have to wait to see if I can even get 5.0 up North. I should know later this week. But, when I do get closer to town I will have @ my disposal, 10-15MBPS or what ever it is. But thanks in advance

Tired Pete would know, he's the computer wizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Inverness is a good location. I take it the job is moving you? Good luck on computer hookup. Our DSL is even sa in Arcadia.

If you can connect to the internet @ 10-15 Mbps, then you have an extremely fast connection. Comcast in Delray offers 6-8 Mpbs and that is considered broadband. Even 1.5M bps is considered broadband, which is one of the speeds DSL comes in. As an example, our whole company uses a T1 ( 1.5 Mpbs upload/download ) and a 3Mbps DSL line and this is only download as upload goes to roughly .75Mpbs. This is a combined 4.5 Mbps download and 2.25Mpbs upload. So we are well well below 10-15 Mpbs. You must be in an area that has fiber to the home, although I would venture to guess that even copper RG-6 could carry those speeds as well. Anyway you slice it, that will be a very fast internet connection.

Ya, if I can get it, so far it's looking like 786K, just faster than dial up.

I am assuming this is 786Kbps and it is +1000% faster than dial up. I remember dialup connection being roughly 56Kbps. The thing to find out is the upstream AND downstream speeds. Or not, but 786Kbps is still ok for web surfing, etc...

Ya, I guess it will have to do for now. I'm moving Saturday morning. If the other company calls then I can get the 10KBPS
