Re: 50Mbit service, what is the maximum speed I can expect?

I have ADSL as the moment, and if you are on a "upto" 8mbit line, it is impossible to get over 8mbit, is the same true for cable broadband.

Since I am posting a thread, what speed can one expect to download off Steam?
You should get roughly the 50Mbit you are paying for. You won't get over that simply because it'd be pointless selling you 50Mbit if they were going to let you have more

The service is actually restricted to 53Mbit and people can and do see 50Mbit of real download speed.

As far as Steam goes that's a piece of string question. It'll go as fast as the Steam server allows, up to a maximum of 50Mbit.
