Re: Is Broadband Speed Just an Illusion?

I received a class action lawsuit notice that I could join if I was receiving less band speed that I was promised. Not sure if it is call band speed or what the correct terminolgy is.

Different bandsaws deliver different band speeds. If your ISP isn't providing at least 2700 sfpm (surface feet per minute) for cutting wood, you probably have a good case.

Yes, because if your download speed from the provider is supposed to be 10megs and you are downloading a file at 56k, which is dialup speed, you know something is really messed up :-)
