threeornothing Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 ..for some reason my adsl connection upgraded itself to 2.2mb.i suggest everyone gives the little bugger a round of applause. or something..Have you tried downloading anything? Upon using some crappy usb adsl modems in the past I've been told I was connected at 7mb....of course the ISP cap the bandwidth available based on the package you are on....and physical line limitations etc..

Paulscoconutass Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I've got a 1.1meg bad boy and i've never seen it go past around 150 kb/s even on things like k-lite and soulseek... still fast, but nothing amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you devide the size of your connection by 8 or something to get acctuall download speed. For a 512kb/s line it's about 60K when I download things. Nildram being the kind people they are sometimes give me 1meg. As for the person who said they got connected at 7meg that would probably be the speed of your router/modem not the speed you were acctually connected to the net. As in most places in UK you can only get 2meg max or something...it's 8meg in London. When I first turned on my modem is registered as 8meg...which is the maximum it can handle.

che Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 that'd be right Tav.A 1.5 meg line is 1.5 mega BITS not Bytes.So 512kbps is kilobits persecondDivide by 8 and you get around 64 KB/s(if you all cast your mind back to basic computing at school. 8 bits = 1 byte) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

che Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 They don't guarantee top speed. No ISP does. They will tell you it depends on line quality/length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
