Please note that I am from Australia. Optusnet Cable guarantees I will get 512kps to Australian websites. HEHEHEHEHEHE I get a heck of a lot better than that. If I'm using a p2p program like Winmx I might only get 5.5kps from a DSL download. Hence I always try to DL from Cable. I average about 20 to 45 kps on winmx.

On many sites, including European sites, my connection will download at 2 megabytes per second, average. Ive downloaded many files at that rate. Sometimes even faster. I downloaded a 57 meg file in about 19 seconds. Go figure.

Still there are the sites that wont let me download at anything faster than 40kps but line conditions and the number of users downloading from a site must be taken into consideration.
