Choosing a Viewing Speed

The AIMU courses are broadcast in two speeds: low speed (dial-up) and high speed (broadband); however, for optimum viewing capabilities AIMU highly recommends viewing the courses using a broadband connection.

56k Modem - Low Speed - Dial Up:
If your modem has a maximum speed of 56k or an ISDN connection, please select the low speed (dial-up) broadcast option. The presentation picture size will be smaller and the resolution may be slightly reduced, but due to the limitations of the dial-up connection to the Internet it is the best option for this speed. After you have selected this option, please allow the course to fully load. This process may take up to 4 minutes. For troubleshooting or connection problems, please read the FAQ's.

High Speed - Broadband:
Please select this option if you have a Cable Modem or high speed DSL, are on a computer network with a fast connection at work or have access to any other form of broadband connection.
