Shopping for a New Modem...

King Righter said:

I've saved up my money, and although my trusty 14.4 modem has served me
well, I think it's time for an upgrade. Now, some people say I should
get a 56k modem, but I've heard that a 28k would be just fine. Now I'm
confused. Can I download videos on a 28k modem? Which one should I
get?

King Righter

Yeah, the 28k should be fine.

I wouldn't bother with an upgrade, if I were you: are you sure you
can't get the 14.4 fixed? If not, go for the 28k: that'll be fine 🙂

Best wishes,

9.6k is fine for newsgroups and email. S'what my mobile phone modem
does, if I'm lucky, which is what I use when on the hoof. Transfers
text far faster than anyone can read. Who needs more than that?

PLEASE guys,

Don't post this kind of topics in the newsgroup be.rec.motorcycles.
This is a belgian newsgroup about motorcycles (as you might have deducted
from the name...)

thanks

Please not again. 🙁

I can sell you my 300 baud modem from my commodore 64 for $100.00.
I will give you a free mallet so you can pound it in an isa or pci slot.

especially fine for trolls, who exhibit a greater lack of intelligence
than most
