Your datarates are probably six, eight, twelve times normal "full dialup".

BS genius
My circa 2000 RCA WebTV is limited to a max of only 56K
The WebTV receiver is connected to a Call Waiting (web interruptor setting enabled) enabled fiberoptic telephone line which is plugged into the telephone only jack of my Motorola modem
Not the PC port - which my sister can use with a laptop or a PC - if she visits - at the same time I use WebTV
A newer and inferior MSN-TV2 receiver can be rigged to connect to the PC connection port on my Motorola Voice modem - (it can connect at 5 times the 56K speed of my WebTV Plus on dialup only - or 10 times for more bucks to Optimum)
The modem is required by Optimum to use Optimum Voice - which only gives a clearer audio than landline hardwired systems
My US Army Signal Corps postions and then later Western Electric (NASA microwave equipment in Fort Lauderdale for the Sheppard launch and orbit) background as a child trumps your mindless babbling.....
You are 6 - 8 - 12 times a no-nothing
Call 1-800-Go-WebTV and ask MSN (Microsoft) if they can rewire your internet - they told me a WebTV Plus is not compatible with digital fiberoptic telephone dialup connections
They now admit they were wrong - and I am right
I use two (2) TVs (or more) as internet monitors using just one RCA WebTV internet 56K (page connection speeds max at about only 52K in my tests at wtv-zone) dialup receiver - and both are boosted by my huge vintage Marantz audio receiver/amplifier to power 18 stereo speakers in my cave
All which MSN/Microsoft says is impossible to do
Picture-in-Picture while on Free Republic or elsewhere on the internet on 2-3 or more TVs as monitors on many channels - all at once
MSFT & Optimum asked how I did this
My answer:
Make me a very serious offer and wire my bank
