DreamCastLover Posted October 14, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted October 15, 2003 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
