Do you have Broadband?

Welcome to the Internet my friend. Trust me when I tell ya - you were not on the Internet before. Dial-up is like a little flashlight - you use it in emergencies when your connection is gone or there's a power outage and wanna read your e-mail on your laptop, and then you get back on with your broadbanc connection.
It's all about the speed. 512 kbps is about 10 times faster than dial-up, but it feels about 100. That's a typical DSL speed, but you'll find 768 kbps to be the average.
If you really wanna step up to the plate, get a connection that's at least 1 mbps or even 1.5 (1500 kbps), and if you got a little more money (usually it's not that much more), go for 3 mbps - then nothing is stopping ya.
Check this out to test the speed of your connection (make sure you're not downloading anything when you do it of course):

Who are you with? They'll usually always be a download limit, even if they say unlimited. Especially with broadband.
