Rag Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 I just got Cable Modem today. Thats why i haven't been on in a while, bcuz internet was down. Since i just got it, its the fastest thing to me. I just d/led something at 800 kb / sec and i couldn't believe it
Alpha Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 800?? Geezus are you on a T3? How much are you paying a month? I can only max out to 150Kb/s.
DreamCastLover Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 The max you can get in this country is about 200kb/s with cable. I know plenty of people in the Netherlands and the USA that download nearly 2 Megabytes a second. I want those speeds
echoman Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Lol have fun man, I know the step from dial up to cable is huge so enjoy it while u have it. Where are u located gc since if ur in the states with cable u should have no problems gettin those speeds.

emsley Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Jeeeeze!! Scousers and brummys donwloading how to nick Astra GTI's documents in a record times lol
Alpha Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Where are u located gc since if ur in the states with cable u should have no problems gettin those speeds. I have just regular DSL, no cable. For some reason though I get a faster speed then everyone around me who has the same service.
ken_cinder Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Might I encourage you all to do your freakin math!? 2mbps = 256kb/s This download at 800kb/s would require you to have a 6.25mbps connection. GET REAL! Your ISP is Comcast, which doesn't offer no 6.25mbps connection. The equation? bit\8=byte 800kbps I can see.......and you'd be downloading at an avg max of 100kb/s. Advertised speeds by ISP's are in BITS per second (Communications speed), actual download speeds are a measure of storage and are measured in BYTES per second. Might I add that the fastest service Comcast offers is 3.5Mbps, their "Pro" package..........at 95 dollars a month. (Check their website) This kinda miseducation and exageration REALLY cracks me up.
Diso Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 calm down cinder. I already said "lies" Online to Gamecop but meh. Yes there is no way you possibly can get that speed. The most I ever got was 300 kbs somehow (T1 Server I think). Otherwise, I want to know what site you're downloading from
Rag Posted October 15, 2003 Author Posted October 15, 2003 Whoa, didn't think it would cause this much posts lol. Actually u guys are rite. It was 800, but thats before it flucuated or adjusted or w/e and went down to around 230ish, no need to yell. Plus hey, gimme a break, im new and excited to fast internet lol
