Your raw speed was 37647.06 bits per second which is the same as:
Communications: 37.6 kilobits per second
Storage: 4.6 kilobytes per second

Oh yeh, compared to other 56.6k modems, mine is poor.
Well... Yeh...  .

I don't think it's in reference to other modems. It means in reference to all internet connections (cable, dsl, dial-up).

No, because they ask you for what connection you have.

Hmm, I didn't realize dial-ups could have such a range of difference.
Perhaps, its in reference to 14.4, 28, 56...
You don't have a 14.4 modem on your computer do you... 
We have a very, very old skool Macintosh with a 14.4 modem. Browsing with that is very frustrating. It came around about the same time as public internet started appearing and back then most sites were just text so it's all relative. |

i believe (note i had to read about these things in acient history books) that a 56k modem, doesnt mean it connects at 56k.
you look at the icon when you log on, it can be logged on at any speed, be it 14.4, 44.4 is frequent, or 36. etc.
mind you i might have to check with some really old people to check this info out.

It seems forums take a whole lot longer than most corporate web sites. Even a 500k gamefaq is done quicker but thats just text so I really don't know mine connects at 42.6 usu.

Compared to all connection types worldwide, yours is above average
Pretty pathetic really, considering we pay around $80 a month and only get 1gig of donwloads (Aussie ADSL, one company still catching up with the rest of the world)
