**physc0** · 07-09-2003, 02:05 AM

I'm getting Qwest DSL, because damn is it cheap. You can get dsl for $21 for 256/256...and for 640/256 for 31 something. Very cheap. Anyway, what will my average speed be on kazaa with both of these speeds. Yeah,I'm a dumbass.....

it stil comes down to ur source there will be no "average" speed if u have alot of sources u'll download fast if u have little sources u'll download slow.

I think they speeds are slow. You should get Road Runner or Speak Easy....maybe even Comcast ( Comcast is Cable) ...Dont buy a shitty product for a cheap price.
I think you need at least 1 mbps download and 380 kbps upload.

im on the 256/256 one i think and i get speeds of 80kbps tops off web pages
50 tops on kazaa

its not possible to get 80KB/S w/ 256/256. 256/8 is 32. and ur download speed is usually within 90% ( 28 kbs ) of that so it cant ever go up to 80kps. but if u had 640k than it can. but my 640k i only get 56kbs top

Kazaaliterock, it says on the site like 31 something. I maybe missing something but that's what is says. It says it doesn't come with an ISP though. See.....

Yeah DSL is getting cheap these days. It doesn't mean that your speeds will go faster. It just depends how widely shared it is. Plus if the user has a slow connection, it may possibly slow down your downloads speeds as well.
