hi all i am confused coz i also have a 56 kb/s connection speed and the download speed is always 7 or 6 but its always 7 . i am wondering why is it called 56 kb/s and the download speed is just 7 or 6 and isnt like 50 ? and i live in lebanon and here we do not have a connection speed more than the wireless and it costs 70 $ in month just to get this 56 kb/s speed. so i am lucky in this middle east world. i cant wait to grow up and travel to a real civilization.
