Ok I never did understand all this kbs shit, but I wanted to know my upload, I been told it's 256kbps, ok fair enough, I then asked what upload I get, is that about 26k/bs, he just kept saying it's 256kbps

FFS!!!

So please could someone explain to me what 256kbps is in upload terms?

256kb = 32kB - ~10% overheads

b=bits B=bytes

8b=B

and i always said when will i need algebra in real life

How come you don't have ftp access Cheese?
I saw Sam's post, nasty prob that, unfortunately I don't know how to fix it without ftp access so could'nt help

@Dave...... Was in text and I did put k/Bs but he just kept saying 256
