That's ur connection speed mate ............ I mean the speed you actually "download" a file

Anywhere between 2272 and 2891 depending on the server location. UK servers were fastest.

Mate, there is no way you are getting almost 3MB a sec ....... on a 3MB connection !

Want me to email the test to you?

Ive downloaded at about 2000kbps at work before (i work for bt he he he)

I'm on 8Mb/ps at home, usually download at ~840KB/ps

Basically Baz it means that I can download porn quicker than any of you lot

I miss working in Denmark, out there in the office we had over 30 155Mbps pipes - now that was a quick link

thats the best thing i have read on here for ages!

LOL - I just laughed so hard that a little bit of wee came out !

As long as it's not sex wee we're ok

LOL...

I got myself 223Kb per second on a file download the other day (I have Telewest Broadband)!

Of course it also depends on how good the site is as well....funny how porn sites tend to push out your downloads at the best rate!!

NTL and Telewest are soon going to be releasing 10MB connections for their top level customers...can't wait!! Upload will be limited for obvious reasons but a MB per second download should be possible!! Woohoo.....streaming baby...it will be like real life, only on full screen!!

On the advice of another member, I downgraded my 3Mbps @ £39 to 2Mbps @25 per month - guess what - no difference at all in speed!!!!

No, if you had the old 1.5MB that was upgraded to 3MB

damn

its work... but its cool, we're thinking about upgrading it to a 4mb 1:1 connection....

nobody here uses it.... hardly.

we need the upstream, we do alot of work with SQL servers...

i only wish my home connection was that fast... i've been relegated to a piddly 1mb connection... just because my line attenuation happens to be at the 43db cut off!!!! Who do i blame ? BT or PlusNET!!! GRRRRRRRRRR

still, at least i've got work connections eh

It's all good fun mate, I couldn't believe my luck when I was in the office in Denmark, there are shedloads (ie 30+ 155Mbps) links to the net from that office, I tried some downloads and it was just stupid!!!

I was on 1 meg at my mum's for ages, eventually managed to get 2 meg (was on the 40 limit for that) and then moved and can get 8 meg here, and it's nearly half the price

Sorted!

did BT give you the go ahead? I can't seem to get a whisper out of BTw...

i'm a 43db user... and i'm fobbed off!!! UFFF!

any chance you ccould help me aido? I live 0.9km from the Exchange... and even if the route was tripled i'd still be within the 3.5km range for 2meg.... HELPPPP!!!

I had to wait until they upped the limit to 40dbs mate recently, it did my nut in

Wish I could help you mate but unfortunately I'm not affiliated with BT at all!
