Upload Speed: 1031 kbps (128.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

Not the fastest, but not bad. When I lived in a town called petawawa we would only ever top out at 1mbps. I am very content with what I have now.

Ha, ha, ha,

What speed you ask? I am on no speed - I am on the prehistoric dial-up (anyone of you still remember it?) with a download snail-pace of 28.8 Kbps - and that is on the good days!!!

Ah, dial-up. I remember the excitement when we got 300 baud acoustic couplers so we could work from home in an emergency.

Actually, I do know some people even here near the Philadelphia area that use dial-up because they rarely use the internet or e-mail, and don't want to pay the going rates for broadband.

Default Internet speed

Hi again,

My dial-up is certainly not what I want but the only option at the moment here where I live.

My home is actually on a small island off the Tasmanian coast with few people.
I am not connected to the electric grid and I am only on 12 Volt batteries. I charge them with three solar cells.

I would have the option to get Satellite Internet but the modem is 240Volt.
If I add an inverter to my system my batteries will not cope with the power demand.

I have to look seriously into finding a low powered 12 Volt modem - but about this technology there are not a lot of knowledgeable people who could advise me.

Cheers Moxi

Is satellite connectivity cost prohibitive?

Only pay for a 2MB speed and normally have 1.96 on speedtest - just tested and got

LOL, it's slow but it gets the job done. This is all they had available in this area a couple of years ago, maybe I'll check again but for what I do on the net this speed has always met my needs. I still rock the XP os as well, call me old school I guess
