ok, let's not turn this into a speed test thread.

I had already heard more of less of this a few years ago. What I heard was all homes will in the future be equipped with at least a broadband connection...of course this would mean equipping every area with cable or DSL capability. I agree that 56k is far too slow, although 56k IS better for downloading text rather than images, but not by a big difference. I am of the opinion 128k should be the minimum by today's standards -- I could gain a 30ms ping in UK servers in most games...call of duty for one....it really is fast enough.

It really depends on how often you use your computer: 56k is "for" people who don't use it that much. Frequent internet users shouldn't be cursed with 56k if they can help it.

Though don't forget it wasn't that long ago that a 28.8k modem was quick enough for games like warcraft. http://artho.com/warcraft/lag.html don't forget also that 56k is still a really cheap option for having internet capability...I think the prices now are from 6 pounds per month, and anyone can use 56k.
