well yeah!

seems blueyonder roole dout a upgrade fo rthe origianlly 512K user whom then went to 768 then too 1024 and now at 2048!

all running thru a pentium II 333Mhz proxy server with 128 megs of ram :p
 
Pfft ... NTL did this months ago - and whats more, I've got a dedicated router and a dedicated fanless server... so i'm better than you.
 
meh, i think im up to 5 mbit now
keeps going up as they widen the pipes in my area
 
I'm at 5mb, trying to get dad to get the 8mb package, because soon it will be 10mb :p
 
How do you guys get such fast connections? Are they cheap like under $50 USD a month or really exspensive?
 
Ah, now i know what he was talking about...:)
In NZ i get 2mb for what would be about 40USD a month but 10gb bandwidth limit.
 
Well my dad gets our connection for free, because his work pays for it.
 
Downstream 2809 Kbps (351.1 KB/sec) 3033 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 440 Kbps (55.0 KB/sec) 475 Kbps (inc. overheads)


thats what i got, can you translate that for me
 
ADSL Speed Typical Download Typical Upload
512Kbps 460 Kbps 220-260 Kbps
1Mbps 920 Kbps 220-260 Kbps
2Mbps 1840 Kbps 220-260 Kbps
 
so is that pretty good? i mean is there a big difference in downloads from 3mb to 5 mb?

I certainly haven't heard about this, and I'm still running at 1mb. Hmm.

To work out the theoretical download speed for a connection that runs at x Mbits, you multiply it by 1024 to get it into kbps and divide by 8 to get it in kb/s as there are 8 bits in 1 byte. e.g.

2mbit = 2048kbps (1024 * 2)
2048 / 8 = 256kb/s

So you are going from 384kb/s to 640kb/s by going from 3mbit to 5mbit.

Remember that these speeds are the theoretical speeds and you might not get a connection that fast.
 
hmm well there will be alot of times where ill get like 560 kb/s on downloads though. hmmm
 
Tiscali are a bunch of c**ts! I'm on the 2mb service yet the top download speed at the moment is 5k per second.

I knew I shouldnt of downloaded 60gig in the last 2 weeks as they've pretty much destroyed my connection until next months quota starts. I'm switching to plus.net tomorrow, at least their not capped!
 
Supposedly our connection will go from 756kb/s to 1mb before the end of June.
I thought it said beginning of June and was going to complain today but re-read the letter. :eek:
 
This is all good, hopefully the price of the more higher bandwidth services will go down. uncapped ofcourse.

Anyone know the cheapest deal for an uncapped broadband, highest speed possible? Sharing with 4 guys next year... and one of them is a kazaa nob :)

1KB/s = 1KBps = 8Kb/s = 8Kbps

Too tired to work that out to see if its right, also too tired to know what your point is. I'll think about it again the morning :p Your probably right though :)
