I just finally got high speed internet access at home, and without using @Home or satellite providers. Mine is via a radio link (2.4Ghz) from a transciever atop a grain elevator in town. I'd like to compare the speed with others who have cable modems or satellite connectivity.
Click here: [url]http://www.ba-hss.com/speedtest[/url] and post your connection speed.

FWIW, mine comes in at 670 Kbps.

When I had high speed access (DSL) I typically ran about 1.2 to 1.5 mbps.........that was through Bell South.

Now........my soon to be ex-wife has high speed DSL...........perhaps it will help with those new high speed viruses and such[}:D]

Man that's fast!!!  I would have gone directly to a cable modem, except that there isn't even cable TV on my road, and the local cable provider doesn't even have a web site, much less have digital cable, much less having even HEARD of the internet!!!!
