Where were you getting anything close to that, outside of a T1 line?

No matter what I did or where we lived, 56k dial up in practice was a consistent 3.2 kBps download. 128 kbps MP3s were always about 3.5 MB, which took about 20 minutes to download per track.

I feel like those numbers will be burned in my brain for the rest of my life.



You're right of course, used kilobytes instead of kilobits. Thanks.
