I used CA1 because I had no idea what an American ZIP code should look like. Usually some state (two letters) followed by a number works when I need it for forms. I base it on English postcodes, which are for example: IP2 8LG (2 letter town, number, space, number, random 2 letters).

I'm sure you're all fascinated by this. I'll go find my beanie hat.

I rue the day i got 56k internet connection with BT as my ISP
I swear the actual figure is lower than that!

[Badger]

Location - North Ayrshire (Great Britain)
ISP - Freeserve
Cost - 13 a month (20$US roughly)
Connection - 56K Modem




I took this during peak time, when I tend to connect at my slowest.

Indeed when this was done, I was connected (according to the computer) at 18K or something. However at night time I have been known to creep up to around 28K
