Re: ADSL Connection Speed to Israeli Sites




         I have a dial up setup with a US Robotics 33.6 Kb modem. On trying 
to access the Iglu KDE mirror site I found things somewhat slow.
Also over recent months trying to ftp rpms I have not managed to get 
anything better than 3KB/s  and for large segments of time was at an all 
time low of 300B/s. KDE is still not fully operational. Hmph!  Zahav and 
Bezek must be loving it. I would also like an explanation as financially it 
is proving too expensive me to keep up to date.
         Regards, Barry.
