Not sure exactly what you are referring to. The obvious manages to escape me at times, more details please. :)

I've never done any of that with a browser. I've always just copy/paste the link into a message body of an email if I want to have someone see a page.

Wow!

First - I use ISDN BRI, I am fully aware of its limitations and have never called it Broadband.

Second - I am not sure why you would use the FCC as your definition of Broadband. You do realize that the Government is not the most reliable source of scientific information?

Third - this is the definition the FCC has on its web-site:

"Broadband refers most commonly to a new generation of high-speed transmission services, which allows users to access the Internet and Internet-related services at significantly higher speeds than traditional modems. It has the potential technical capability to meet consumers’ broad communication, entertainment, information, and commercial needs and desires.

Are There Different Types of Broadband?
There are several types of broadband services:

*

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
*

Cable Modem
*

Wireless Internet
*

Satellite "

Fourth - I have and used a MLPPP router for a year (WebRamp dual modem router, not the software version). It utilizes two bonded Analog data channels. I guess it could carry multiple data channels simultaneously, if you mean TWO data channels on two separate analog connections. But then that does not meet the definition I gave of Broadband anyway.

There are varying definitions depending what uninformed person your talking too. But I gave the industry standard answer (the one a student must give to pass any exam).

Population density is roughly one person per 7 square miles.

Not much money in a WISP then! LOL!

And I thought I was in the boonies 40 minutes out of town!

We can do a 30mi backhual with flat terrain or peak to peak, but you need some consumer base for a ROI on the install.

The feds have been handing out grants to companies to bring better communications to rural communities, but i don't know the minimum population densities or what work in Big Sky country.

Many, many thanks! The difference is incredible! I thought my neighborhood was filling up with more cable modem users thereby slowing down the overall speed. The problem was FF. I think its actually faster than IE (Internet Exploder) now.

One question... has a fix come out for the slowness of Firefox and Mozilla when you restore them from being minimized?

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but noticing massive improvements in browsing by enabling pipelining is probably mostly psychological. Pipelining has to be supported on the server side, and there are a great many servers out there that still haven't enabled pipelining. Even if that's in place, the only people likely to experience significant increases in performance are folks on high bandwidth, high latency connections, because all pipelining does is allow multiple requests to be in flight at once - on a low latency connection, the response time will be such that pipelining will make very little difference at all to the bottom line. Try it and see - get a stopwatch and time page loads with and without pipelining enabled, but make sure you clear the cache between runs ;)
