Yeah, I think all of us 56K users would gladly turn in our modems for a cable modem and router, but you gotta do with what you have. I think its kinda funny that we're all so proud....woohoo! So yes, i have a 56k here at home, but our school leeches from the T3 at a nearby university. When I download there, I only get ~30k, which is better than the 2.5-3k (yes!!) i get here at home, but its not at all t3 performance. We have a second line here at my house, and Compuserve patched itself for Windows XP, and now it doesn't boot me off for inactivity, so I'm always on. I think my record was 3 days straight on AIM - then when i tried Alt-Tab'ing between Unreal Tournament and Tribes 2 (with a lot of other progs running), my system said, "I hate you, I'm turning off."
