Dsl Speeds

[Kenny1036]

I have DSL and I run at 12.0 Mbps and the most kb/s i get is 200 kb/s.

I have 512k adsl and the fastest i have seen it go is 70kbs but usually sits at around 50 to 52kbs.

[shinzuiski]

is that a 12mb conneciton ?

if its 12mb connection and u only get 200kb then u got screwed.

1.5mb adsl is 150kb a sec.

[silent VI]

im only on the telus 150kb plan but with uploads and downloads i can get it to equal to 200 250

Maybe hes got cable :unsure:

[Adster]

ive got 512/64

[iBLoStboY]

ahh do people still get DSL? haha

My isp is upgrading to 3mb/sec at the end of the year -

Cable is the way to go -


Comcast! (changing isps if they take away the newsgroups)

my dsl is 5 Mb/s my down/up ratio is around 768k/128k i frequently get dl's at 400-600 KB/s If you are thinking of getting comcast cable they are the absolute worst company i've ever dealt with in my life when it comes to customer service.I now have QWEST DSL and i'm very happy with it.No cap on my bandwidth and their customer service is great.My modem malfunctioned and a new one arrived at my door the very next day!With cable you are going to be sharing the same line with anyone else who may be in your building or even your neighborhood that has cable so your speeds will fluctuate a lot.
DSL provides always-available high-speed Internet access over a single dedicated telephone line. Cable modems offer high-speed Internet access over a shared cable television line.
While cable modems may have greater theoretical downstream (from the Internet to the end user) bandwidth capabilities, that bandwidth is shared among all users in a neighborhood, and will therefore vary, perhaps dramatically, as more users in a neighborhood get online at the same time.
Upstream traffic (from the customer premise to the Internet) over cable modems will in many cases be slower than DSL, either because the particular cable modem is inherently slower, or because too many people in a neighborhood are trying to send or receive data at the same time - causing congestion in the local cable network.
So dont believe all you hear about cable being better.

i am seriously pissed off with my neighbours wireless bandwidth, they need to upgrade,its killing my downloads.

that's not bad, I get my ful 8mb/s

Crabgirl's neighbour's broadband has a decent speed it's just the fact that every cunt in the street is using it that slows it down. I'm seriously considering setting up his security so it only accepts his and mine's mac addresses.

neighbours should show more respect.

I only use my neighbours' (3) bandwidth in absolute emergencies.

Tho' to be fair about a week ago Mrs JP was using 1, Daughter No1 was using another and I was using my own secure wireless.

I have 2mbps connection, but if there is a rain even if it's not that heavy. I would get very slow connection. Weird but in our ISPs forum that's been the main problem they complained about.

Yes if you mean 12 megabit and you can only get 200 kbs then i would say yes you got screwed.I have a 5 megabit DSL connection and frequently get 400-600 KB/s depending on where i'm dl'ing from.That is a big factor too on how fast your dl speed will be.You have to factor in:How fast are the uploaders upload speed capability.How many uploads and downloads do you and the uploader have going at once.The settings in your p2p software have to be set properly along with optimizing windows for downloading since windows was never designed for a lot of downloading.These are some of the things you have to factor in when talking about your dl speeds.
