What is your Internet Type and Speed (Down)

[aisoku]

1.5mbit down and 128k up
the irritating thing about my connection is that its always able to reach the 128k upload cap but not the 1.5mbit download cap....

hmmm....

did you know your dl speed in KB/s is eight time smaller than it is specified in Kb/s ...

most people don't make a diffirence between Mb/s and MB/s or Kb/s and KB/s

Byte consists of 8 bits.

providers display their speeds in Kb/s and if you see 10 Mbps you say wooooooooow, 10 MEGABYTES per second...

ten megabytes my a**

that should be clear to all of you.

this the third time we are running same poll within few weeks, it is better to make sure the poll does not exist before making new poll.


by the way, BAZ i am on @home {Tilburg} too with 2560kbps, and the speed will be increased to 4000kbps come july 1st.

in the beginning, {A}DSL was reliable and speed was quaranteed, but due to the fact that competition and need to stay alive have always been a great problem for them. DSL providers have resorted in providing free and cheap USB modem which does not quarantee half of promised speed. and i believe that if they fail to formulate another game plan soon they will not stay longer in business

Well michaelangels, i'm not on @home, but use @home Tiscali, just to fix this mistake:
Tiscali ADSL 2048/320

It is clear to me, and it is very good merchandise to say 10 Mb/sec instead of 1,25MB/sec

nobody's download speed will ever reach the limit since it depend also from the other end, if the end is uploading at 128 or less you will be automatically recieving at that speed

[Dagoth696]

Well I'm on 56k dial-up that connects anywhere between 28.8 and 44.1 kbps.

My ISP is Xtra and I pay $30 a month for unlimited...
