I am downloading an xbox360 game that is about 7.8gigs and it took about an hour and half. It is averaging about 1800 KB/s.

Is this a decent speed? Anyone have an ISP in the states that gets better?

That's excellent speed. You probably won't find much higher bandwidth unless you go optic fiber or pay for business service.

A lot depends on where you live. High-density population centers like New York City and San Francisco have always had some of the fastest internet available in the country, and for a cheap price. And then the people who live in the rural backcountry rarely get anything better than dialup.

That is normal speed for a 5 Meg connection. Want better you gotta upgrade your package.

5mB (megabit) a second averages around 500 KB/S
Now if he has 5 MB (MegaByte) a second then I would be worried.

i have 5mB connection. I was just wondering whether 500k/s was normal 'cause i was seeing people posting dl speeds upwards of 4mb/s
