Single-line ISDN is 64 kbit/s, which is what most people would use, because this allowed for both internet use and phone calls at the same time. Dual line ISDN at 128kbit/s meant you couldn't use your phone. So ISDN should probably be grouped togetwher with 56k dialup (also because it dials up like dialup does
). I only know this because it's what we had when I was a teenager.

@Pseudopod - Was a comment on a 13 year old post necessary?

My home connection is still complete crap, so thanks for that, CenturyLink.
Almost makes driving to work seem worth the effort.

I'm actually not really used to threads staying alive for 13 years in the first place@Pseudopod - Was a comment on a 13 year old post necessary?
, so I don't typically check the dates before posting.

So rather than waiting for Virgin to dish out the latest speed boost automatically as was the case last time, I got an email asking me whether or not I wanted to accept it. Considering I knew that my bill wouldn't change afterwards, I'm unsure as to why they went the 'take it or leave it' route with the package I'm on. I mean who wouldn't their speed increased by 2/3 for no extra charge?
2Mb/s above the quoted max download speed for the last 18 months. 1.5Mb/s below new max speed now. Upload still sucks.

I have cable modem Time Warner Cable internet, I pay for 30 mbps download and 5 mbps upload.
What I get when I'm directly connected to the modem/router:
What I get when I'm using wifi in the same room of the modem/router:
Does anyone know how I can improve the wifi speeds? That was a normal test and the results are usually very random, from 1mbps all the way to 30mbps (results are normally below 10mbps though). My modem/router is a combination and there is a wireless printer/fax machine and wireless phone in the same room. Do those things cause problems?
Edit: From my bedroom using wifi
From my game room using wifi on my PS4:
Download: 4.2 mbps
Upload: 1.2 mbps
(This is normal sadly and the same speeds from prior to me upgrading to 30)

How the hell is your wifi in your bedroom better than the wifi in the same room as the router?

Download:3.1 mbps
Upload: 1.2 mbps
