There is what seems to be a new technology doing the rounds, a dial up connection 2/3 times faster than broadband. Heavy aw and ot, seem to be recruiting afflitates by the hundreds daily, with big buck rewards.
Is it possible, any tech guys know?
Seems like a scam, the prog goes public in october.
I know this sort of stuff "faster internet connection" pop-ups etc used to be a pain, but lately not seen much of it.
Has something new happened?

If "dial-up" in this case really does mean using a POTS telephone line, then, no, not possible.

The bandwidth limitation is about 3-4 khz. There just isn't enough there to allow that kind of data transfer rate.

That's like trying to record DVD quality video on an audio cassette recorder.
