2000 is pretty unlikely but 200 is very possible i get about 150kb/s and theres alot faster connections out there

ICQ must have serious mis-reported his upload speed unless he's on a seriously uncapped cablemodem/ADSL.

Even a T-1 line will max out at ~180 KB/sec (1,500 kbps).

It's not uncommon for a cablemodem or ADSL to be able to download as fast as a T-1 line, but virtually unheard of for them to upload much faster than a T-1 line.

ive gotten 560somethin (stayed at that speed for quite a while) when downloading off kazaa.. fastest ive upped to someone was at 110kbps....

i get MBps on icq but thats only if i have my router hooked up and i send files from 1 PC to the other..
