But some of you still dont really get a handle on what's going on. the
people on dsl have bought into the "hype" about dsl and how "high speed" it
is, and think they can run 40 or 50 slots for uploads and downloads, when
all they can really support is about 2 each way. So there they are, churning
along slower than a 56k , and you can't educate them. They simply wont
listen.
And a lot of isp's will quote their speeds in kiloBITS, to inflate their
numbers and make you think they are fast, when the fact is, you have to
divide that by 10 to get the actual speed. People also buy into this
schtick, and run 40 or 50 slots.
Even the 56k guys, who ought to know better, will routinely try to run as
much as 10 or 15 slots, when they are lucky if they can do a good job of
supporting 1 each way.
Like I said, you cannot educate them, I have tried for years on irc to tell
them, and they just dont listen.....
