# Wanadoo do not rate high on the sustained data rate scale
their service slows at peak times *allegedly*. There is a site that compares all the providers (I can't recall the site now due to alcohol). Some provide 512k connection but only achieve a fraction of this in real terms. It is worth checking before signing up.

# well i'm apparently 512
but am currently running 576, horoay!

# Careful
Don't mistake Kbit/sec for bytes/sec. I can't remember which is which (alcohol), but it's not the same.

576 whatevers is the standard downward flow rate on a 512 Kbit/sec connection.

# ah
you learn something new every day!
and i do realise the difference between bytes and kilobytes.

# I meant bits and bytes, or something.
Anyway, for further explanations I recommend www.pcadvisor.co.uk .It's far too late for me, I'm off... ciao all
