KBert Posted April 20, 2005 CID Share Posted April 20, 2005 We got D'way to connect to another system... it worked only slightly better than 56K dialup, the time from making a keystroke to seeing it appear on the moniter was over 1.5 seconds. In a last ditch effort to make _something_ work we just tested out ISDN. The difference is amazing! Part of it is the latency, but I believe that the _faster_ upload is making most of the difference. Now I've got the ammo to get out of D'way's contract owing nothing (I'm on my 2nd *30 day* extension!), because this shows that their service (in this instance) is _slower_ than dial-up (figuring that ISDN is still *dial-up*). Now, to be fair, downloading web pages, etc. is definitely much slower, but for anyone who needs to interact with another system (remote desktop) ISDN is the way to go!
