How fast is 1.5 Mbps?

[Peerzy]

Your a fucking tard. thats the speed of your network card, and its not even a fast one. if were going by your reasoning i have a 100mb pipe.



Thats just how fast someone could send data through your computer, but ofcourse no one does as you don't have 10mb.

Beautiful.

Had to bump this because pwnage at that level is pure artistry.

That explains his 10Mbps connection.

Beautiful, thanks for bumping it.

Actually it's mistaking 1 inch for 8 inches. 2/3 of a foot.

yeah yeah. to be precise, yeah.

but anyway, 1.5 megabit/second internet service should get you roughly 187 kilobytes/second download speeds, and 3 megabits/second would be about 375 kilobytes/second. it makes a lot of sense when you know the "8 bits = 1 byte" rule.

[Rip The Jacker]

Around 187kb/sec? Thats wonderful compared to 4.5kb/sec dial-up.

So 8 bits = 1 byte, I've learned something new!

I have the 1.5Mbps and I have gotten in the 200s on downloads...but yah usually around 150ish but mines 60 bucks a month

[Rip The Jacker]

You pay $60 a month for 1.5Mbps DSL?

Wow I feel lucky.



Not to brag or anything...

EDIT: I wonder how much they'll charge after the first year...

[3RA1N1AC]

You pay $60 a month for 1.5Mbps DSL?

Wow I feel lucky.

yeah $60 for 1.5 megabit is a pretty high price. i'm paying about $40 for 3 megabit... was paying approx the same as bigdawg, but the trick is that some isps will keep charging you the "introductory" price if you sign up for another one-year commitment.

so if your commitment period has run out and your isp is charging you a really high price, try giving them a call and see if they are willing to give you a discount in exchange for committing to another year.
