I'm on 1mb cable & I never top 60k for download speed! It was sooooo much faster when I first started up. I gave them a call, and they assured me everything was fine & that the speed was optimal. 60K?! I thought 1mb was 100k?!

It keeps on changing everytime i try it out.
It also says on the page any programs running in the program might affect it. But at least i know im getting what i paid for.

Yes but theres variations. I have ADSL 512 so I get 512 down and 256 up. I actually get around 254 true upload speed so its around 270 up on mine.

Downstream 474 Kbps (59.3 KB/sec) 511 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 122 Kbps (15.3 KB/sec) 131 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Not bad i say..
Isn't upstream supposed to be 128 but true upstream is 131?
i'll definitely test again once i get a new machine to see if it really does make a difference
Upstream 122 Kbps (15.3 KB/sec) 131 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Not bad i say..
Isn't upstream supposed to be 128 but true upstream is 131?
i'll definitely test again once i get a new machine to see if it really does make a difference

ADSL 512K is 60k/s. As you do have overheads. Go to www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp
When you take the test and look at the results screen(you may have to enter ISP and service type before you get to the screen). You will see that the actual download maybe around 475KBit(60k/s) but the actual speed that was recorded was 512KBit+. As overheads are around 8-9% of the data. As a speed of 512KBit is 64K/s and your only getting 60k/s you can see that 4k/s was down to transfering overheads.
So this is the same with 1Mb service you should expect around 120k/s. I know someone on NTL who get 130k/s on there 1Mb but even if you take 1Mb at full speed including overheads it should only transfer at 128k/s as its 1024/8 = 128K/s

Oh and it's blueyonder
My 512k can go up 60kb/s
I'm pretty happy with that.
I'm pretty happy with that.

No thats because of Windows. Take the same hard drive and format it as NTFS instead of FAT32 and you get more space on the NTFS formatted drive.

kilobytes
kilobits
you do the math

It's incorrect but is generally accepted as being correct.
There was a question in "Who wants to be...." asking how many kilobytes to a megabyte and the answers were:
10
1000
10000
100000
The bloke said they were all wrong but still got the correct one. It's the same way why you buy a HD for your PC stating 21 (or 20 can't remember) gig but it only comes up with 19GB.

80% of this is wrong.
Replace all the 1000's with 1024.
