With all these responses of people with ISDN and DSL and miscellaneous other
connections.. I would actually like to also input some views of a regular
56k modem users...

I hardly ever see anything transfer as slow as it was suggested... 1/4 of
the speed on my 56k modem?!... Not even close!  I constantly get 3.8kb/s to
4.8k/bs connection through my 56k modem, regardless of web browsing, FTP..
amongst many other things...

the "over variable factors" must be the only reason why you're getting such
a slow connection....
