Yeah, he said kbps which means kilobits per second. But I think he's under the impression it means kilobytes per second, based on him saying his dial-up connection is 2 kbps which is 256 bytes per second. With a connection that slow, someone could fuck you up just by pinging you.

And 12-15 KB/s is pretty decent for most things. Obviously you're not watching streaming video or uploading movie galleries at that rate. But for checking stats, email, dealing with affiliates, etc, it's a decent speed. And disabling graphics helps even more.
