Re: slow high-internet speed
Your connection spee dis actually 128kbps not 128KB/s...
There's a difference, one means kilobits and other is kilobytes.
Divide the connection speed by 8 (8 bits in a byte) and you get teh download speed.
Usually:
128kbps = 15kb/s
256kb/s = 30kb/s
384kbps = 45kb/s
1mbps = 130kb/s
2mbps = 260kb/s
etc.
What i'm trying to say is that you're getting exactly what you should get.
Re: slow high-internet speed
is this wireless or wired?
also, are u using all of ur upload bandwidth? i've found that if i upload @ max speed, my dl speed is slow. but if i tone it down by about 5-10kb/s, i max out my dl speed
and yea, Kb/s is not the same as KB/s. Kb is kilobits, and KB is kilobytes. 1 kilobyte = 8 kilobits.
so say ur isp advertises 4 Mb download speed (comcast), you really get 4000/8, or 500 kilobytes/sec

it's wired, but I don't think it's an issue now coz i was confused with kbps and kb/s. 4mb is not 4000? it's loke 4024 or somethting?

yep, in toronto area. so are youg getting the same download speed? rogers just raised the price, it's now $34.95 not 29.95. if cogeco is available in your area, I suggest you go for it. coz it's only about$44 for 5mbps with cogeco and the same price for 3 mbps with rogers. I didn't ask if rogers also rasied the price of internet express.
