    56k? What's that? Had my adsl connection for several years now, could never go back to anything below 512k. Currently got a 1MB connection which is serving me well.

    Recently moved up to 512K. It's a different world really. Commiserations for you 56k'rs, I spent years on it and it sucks poo through a thin well chewed straw.

    1MB. But, if you'd asked me a fortnight ago, I would have said 24K. max.

    So up until very recently, 56K.
