4mb line, speed?

[dodgy368]

I've just signed up to a 4mb connection, what speed in kb's should my best download speed be?

(best so far is 200kb/ps)

well I have a 3mb connection and I get 380...Its hard to find a good source that fast thou.Its the only thing that stops me from upgrading.I hardly ever get top speed...

[{I}{K}{E}]

4mb = 4000 / 8 = ~500 kb/s

[MCHeshPants420]

512 kb/s

[{I}{K}{E}]

512 kb/s

I was wrong, I know but its easier to use 4000 kb for 4mb

Cheers guys.
It's supposed to be a 4mb line but they haven't capped it and I'm now connected at 6.8mb.

Whats your ISP, i highly doubt they are giving your 6.8Mb, if your in the uk is basically impossible for them to do that.

ISP is Bulldog, having trouble with the connection though, keeps failing!

Someone i know has bulldog, they pay for 4mb but usually only get like 2mb, what a joke of an ISP.

Peerzy, I'm not impressed with them but I am impressed with the speed, this afternoon I was connected at 6.7mb and uploading at 60kb/ps, at one point I hit 325kb on the d/l side and stayed above 300 for the whole d/l, just need to sort out the connection failures in the evenings and I'll be happy.


ps, my connection speeds have been between 6.5 and 6.8, well that's what my pc and not my isp tells me, I tend to believe it.
