Re: is it going to get better??

I wish ppl would learn the difference between kilobit and kilobyte acronyms.

Quote:
there are 8 bits in a byte, therefore giving you 75 kilobits per second.
WTF? I think you mean 75 kilobytes per second.

Please use the correct terms, nearly everyone says stuff like, I'm only getting 60kbps, and I pay for 600..

K should be capital.

small b means bits, capital B means bytes.

The speed rating is 600Kbps. (Kilobits per second.) And you will get a maximum of 75KBps. (Kilobytes per second) Actual content download speed will be lower due to TCP packet overhead.
