Sprint advertises T-1 speeds down and 256K up. 2wire.com or MS.com's
bandwidth analysis tool indicate anywhere from 250 to 8,500 kbps. Using a
d/l meter, I see download speeds from as low as 15kbps to a high of 500kbps.
It really zips through a 10 meg file. I have improved the performance
markedly with some Registry modifications on my home Win98 PCs. I am also
running an iMac on my home network and it's doing pretty well also. It's
painted by Peter Max so this makes it sorta retro cool too. At work, I'm
running it on five NT boxes but we need to do some more tweaking to get them
up to the level of performance I am seeing at home.
