A Question To Get Me Jelous.....

[Bokken]

Again like others stated, it really depends on where you download files from, but if the server allows it I reach 800kb/s. Usually it's around 500-600kb/s however unless I get in a crappy site and get stuck at around 150-200kb/s

Ummm... Bokken... What Connection Do You Have??

[Evil Al]

Me on my 28.8k modem downloads at about 4kb/s. As far as i know the best you can get in Scotland (north of Glasgow) is a 56k modem... Great isn't it?

Evil Al, ADSL has hit aberdeen. I know cos I have it. At work admittedly, but I can still get onto broadband and surf IW at unreasonable speeds. Except that my PC faces the office and I dont think ken'd like it, but in principle I could.

Now whatever Bokken is running, I want. 800KB/s is the more than bandwidth of some web servers you know.

Supposedly T1 although everyone here just calls it cable.

btw. If anyone in Australia is running Optushome Cable and isn't getting this speed, drop me a line and I'll make sure you do. This excludes users that are using the @home USB Ethernet adaptor as that will restrict you to just under 300kb/s.

And I will have it too on 9th September if all goes according to plan. It's the last bit of kit needed to get "The Beast" (as I now call my new PC) into tip top shape [img]smile.gif[/img]

my 56 k gets around 7-10 once or twice 11 on a rele good connection, do download managers matter? becuz its either that or an internet conenction optimizer thing i got but i didnt think that actually did anything, weird

My Cable connection according to DSL reports is rated at 2MB but the best I have seen is 768k download and 115k up

ARRK. Everyones 56K is faster than my home 56K! Probly cos nobody knows what it is so I cant get good drivers for it. But 11KB/s sounds fast, what kind of files? Only text will compress enough for 11KB/s Or, with really small files (anything much under 30 seconds) the rate given is so innaccurate it hurts, my 56K regularly reports well over a hundred for the first split second. Its because the file download starts a bit before the machine starts counting.

dont panic i gots a 56k too it suks i know but its way better than nothing! plus ADSL on the way soon or perhaps ill go for broadband...
