right they have upgraded my blueyounder connection to 10mb, before i could download at 240KB/s max and upload at 30 max, now the most i`ve seen is 440 down and 43 up but there is no way 440 is my max i thought it must be something like 1100KB/s. i am right can anyone tell me?????
Well 8MB = 1024kB / sec theoretically, although you'll never get this. So 10MB should equal 1272kB / sec. As I said you'll never get that due to distance from exchange, overheads etc... so you should be happy around 900kB / sec IMO.
I'm on 8MB and only get 700-800kB / sec and I live 532m from exchange. But then again my ISP is stupid.
Seeing as you live in London, try checking out Be Internet. They're offering 24MB for next to nothing using ADSL2+ and a free modem to boot (or reboot if you like a pun). I'll be going with them as soon as I get some cash coming in.
I'll be looking at Be, totally unimpressed with Bulldog, they're not supplying what they say they can.

I'm guessing they use some form of traffic shaping to limit file sharing to 2Meg, which seems to be the limit on my 10Meg line. I imagine it's tricky to circumvent. I haven't figured it out yet.
I've never encountered any problems with Blueyonder using Newsgroups or Bittorrent. Top speeds all the time (well, except for if I'm on a torrent with a low amount of seeds obviously).Quote:

10 mbit = 1,2 MB/s

What are you on???Quote:

The one in bold is a 8Mbps internet speed, which as you say you wont hit because of overheads.
I live 500meters away from exchange on a 8Mb business ISP and during Newsgroup DL I hit 6.5Mb = 6656Kb.
If your going to answer someones question make sure you know what your saying.
Well 10 mbit can be from 1,02 MB/s to 1,2 MB/s as i heard but not slower.
If they sell as 8 mbit it can't be slower, cause all 8 mbit have the same speed, 6 mbit would be 6144 kbit/s. U should check your speed on some test, if u download from some other ppl they can have uploads also and soo u'll never know what u have.
Your talking about ADSL2 and ADSL2+ but most of us here still can only get ADSL and Max ADSL which is variable on distance line quality and interferance.Quote:

1mb = 1024 KBQuote:

I had adsl and adsl2 and on boath i have many diferent speeds, doesn't matter what adsl or lan or anything else u have 1 mbit is 1mbit.
I browsed around and well lets say some say its 1 MB is 1000 KB and some that it is 1024 Seems like programs use 1000 instead of 1024 or is it other way around. :D
kilobyte (derived from the SI prefix kilo-, meaning 1000) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to either 1024 or 1000 bytes

Ever heard of the edit button? Limesqueezer? If you have, try using it.
ok
Actually, most people have it right.Quote:

Hard drive manufacturers (and apparently standards organisations that don't understand it!) cloud the water by specifying:
1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
I get a maximum of 2Mbits/sec downloading p2p (no matter what programs, ports or encryption I use), but get as high as 9Mbits/sec on HTTP, FTP & iTunes, so I'm pretty sure Blueyonder have capped p2p.
2Mbits is plenty for p2p in my book though, so I'm not particularly fussed, especially since you can still use the spare bandwidth for non-p2p.
Blueyonder haven't capped me....and they are truly unlimited. I know some people that use newsservers on 10mbit blueyonder connections and they get 1MB/s DL.:D I only have 4mbit connection.Quote:

You are probably right. I'll let you know if I can ever be bothered to work out what you said.Quote:
