yes/no
it will depend on the qualuity of the telephone line and your distance from the exhange
i went from an internal modem to external and got a increase fron 42kbps to over 50kbps 
but i am very close to the exchange and lines are good
meh adsl here now |

Give this site a go : http://www.ozspeedtest.com/
There's plenty around like it - be aware though whatever initial speed your connection is at is only at that time, your modem will vary speed depending on line conditions, bandwidth, etc. |

Dialup: Slow (by todays standards) up to 56kb/s. Usually slower than that
ADSL: The current 'broadband' internet usually in use. speeds usually range between 256kb/s and 1.5Mb/s.
Broadband is just a buzzword for fast internet. |

yeah it is but dont forget i did that when it was just me on the net doing basic things, i have two other bros that use the net as well here so yeah but the connection speed is still fast when they are also on.
i downloaded a 100 meg file from nero to update to a newer version cause they damn thing wouldnt repair and couldnt find install file for it so i decided to update and i was getting 500kbs from there site, even when my bros where on the net, so my connection speed is pretty good, plus i use a router which spreads the internet nicely around |
