I get 7.5- 8 KB ps on my 64 kbps Hathway connection.

Am not too sure but I'm guessing that when one is trying to view a webpage, tcp does a parity check on the datagrams/packets...therefore say a 80 kiloBYTE page won't load in 10 seconds but more....

hwever while d/l ing a 800KB file, the same woul actually download in ~100 seconds......nott too sure what the logic behind this is...will google this in the day an post
