The point of the thread tho, is vital. I have a 5/512 connection here which loads just about everything in the blink of an eye; but I also maintain my old Earthlink dial-up account for testing and use on the road. This gives me ~50k here and ~26k at my in-laws, which makes for some eye-opening (or closing, lol) load tests. I also test using my Windows SmartPhone and PSP for access.

While the dial-up tests on my new pages was frightening, I've moved away from designing for dial-up only this year; since my stats now show less than 15% of my visitors are now on dial-up.

Thanks for the link, Mark
