Well WOW doesn't run more than 30 kbps and streaming music runs maybe at 128 kbps. Anways gets some real internet instead of mooching off of wi-fi that 100 other people are probably using. Anyways whether it's 70 Kbps or 70 KBps any video stream is going to look like shit. That's just the way it is.
5.6 kbs i think is what it really is for dial up.. Im runng at 70 kbs and that is around half dsl speeds.. unless they are higher then around 120 or somthing that i think i can recall it...
