DSL ISPs Cable Companies Dialup Internet Service Providers
I'm using the Global Village x2 Teleport external modem. I bought this for just $120 at Micro Center with some trepidation after unsuccessful experiments with another modem brand, but I consistently connect to my Boston-area ISP at 52000 kps and regularly transfer Winzip files at 5.6k per second. I am very pleased with this modem and recommend it strongly for x2 users.

I have a Global Village Teleport x2, which is under use on my Apple Macintosh Powerbook 165c. The fair connect speed is 51200 bps and this morning I got 53100 Bps on IBM Internet Connection.. The average download speed for a sit. file is 5k to 6k per second. It works fine.

I would rather be just Cody, no last name no email if you post this. I go through a CA ISP called thegrid.net and consistently get 50666bps however earlier this morning I did get one 52000bps. I get around 5-6.3k per sec but prolly could go higher. I use a Global Village 56k under x2 technology on a PowerCenter Pro 210 Power Computing Mac Clone. If you want any other info ask, I can look.
