Fire
well normally it is about 500 kb/s but when I have a bit of luck it can get up to 800 kb/s

Dirty Vader
I only got a 56k. Here the maximum you can get in the UK is 1mb and its new. I cant believe you guys can get 3 mb. Damn! That has to be fast! Download things 50 times faster than a normal dial up connection.

Agent Phillips
I haven't got a clue how fast mine is. embarrasment

Dirty Vader
It tells you at the bottom right of the screen, where the two linked computers are.

Fire
well dirty you have to take into account the server you are downloading from

it aint cause my connection can handle 800 kb/s that the server can

dave123
what about blueyonder 2mbit, and (i know its only for offices) 33mbit?

Matrix_man
dave, the fastest connection availabe in this country is actually 100MBPS, saw it advertising in a magazine...

dave123
yeah, but thats a 1:1 direct connection at hundreds of thousands, plus hundreds of thousands for installation

GABRIEL05
Your bandwidth doubled eh? So jelqing works after all. Hmm....

Matrix_man
yeh they are usually confined to an intranet but u can hook it up to the net....and its the fastest u can have...unless u count government lines...

Hegemon875
I would LOVE to have a 100MB connection.
BTW your bandwidth isn't the actual speed at which you download files, it's just a general communications bandwidth. Some speed test web sits will tell you your actual speed for downloading such as www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest. This a good place to test, you can choose where you live and the type of connection you have. It'll tell you you speed and the average in your area, my speed for downloading files off the net is about 400KB as opposed to 4-7KB on my old dial-up connection.

Fire
well according to that thing it is
926.7 kilobits per second

Hegemon875
your overall bandwidth?

Fire
yep

Hegemon875
how fast is the file downloading?
BTW you can only use that site 3 times a month for free. Used to be free unlimited, then it was 3 times a day, now it's only 3 times a month.

Fire
in a bit under 8 seconds

JKozzy
Communications 1 megabits per second
Storage 124 kilobytes per second
