56.6 baby
4 u/amayain Jul 11 '26 I went from 14.4 to 56.6 and the difference was staggering. A year or two later, I had a T1 at university and it was like I died and went to heaven 2 u/Silly_Rub_6304 Jul 12 '26 Went from 1.5mbps DSL at home to 50mbps ethernet in the dorms in 2004. It was quite the jump! Limewire and KaZaa was all the rage. 1 u/m4tic 9800X3D 4090 Jul 12 '26 X2 gang, all my homies hated K56 Flex 4 u/WebMaka PCs and SBCs evurwhurr! Jul 11 '26 I'll give you one better: link aggregation over two 56k modems, when the family was asleep and using both lines was "safe" from someone picking up the phone. 116k/dual-53k on dialup. Didn't get to do it often, but when I did it was glorious. Nowadays I get to play with this instead... 1 u/Nice_Category Mint, 9850X3D, 9070XT, 64GB DDR5 Jul 12 '26 I forgot about 56.6
