you would be in shock as thats impossible u/l at 46kb/s & d/l at 245kb/s at the same time on a 2mb service.

I think you need to go to the Opticians i suggest Specsavers

(Oh!! damn i was gonna add this information to my thread to keep it from disappearing oh well i will have to dig up something else)

ADSL 2048/256
upload around 32kb/s
download around 250kb/s

Speed (kbps) Translated to: Speed (KBps)
128............................................... ..16
256............................................... ..32
384............................................... ..48
768............................................... ..96
1000.............................................. .125
1500.............................................. .187.5
2000.............................................. .250
3000.............................................. .375
7100.............................................. .887.5

And so on.................
The speeds above are the same factor for Upload as well.

A KiloByte = a KiloBit divided by 8

Example: 2000 Downstream is equal to 2000/8 (2000 divided by 8) Which gives you 250KBps maximum downstream.

A slower upstream (upload) speed can traded off for a faster downstream (download) speed with tweaking If your ADSL ISP will alow you to fiddle

I think i'll save the part about asymmetric & contension (contended) ratios & for my other thread to bump it back into view again.

We probably wont, the theoretical limit for ADSL (ie unlikely to be reached) in the UK at the moment is a maximum of 8mb, you may squeeze 10mb if you live in an exchange out building!!

i dont want to leave university halls at the end of june and go from 10mbit to crappy 1mbit

i get 600KB/second off streamload (capped at the streamload end)

i get

1st 128K took 180 ms = 728178 Bytes/sec = approx 6058 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 220 ms = 595782 Bytes/sec = approx 4957 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 180 ms = 728178 Bytes/sec = approx 6058 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 221 ms = 593086 Bytes/sec = approx 4934 kbits/sec

on the old speed test though

*just wants to rub salt in to anyone with a slower connection*
