Hi guys,

Was on my usenet software downloading a couple of bits and was on the chat rooms talking to some guys. We were talking about ISP's, download speeds stuff like that. One guy said he was with virgin (just like me) on their 20 mb tariff (just like me) and managed to get 50 mbps. I asked him to send me a screenshot of his software which he did, and I said straight away as it was only the start of the download it could be just one cached onto his PC.

I showed him the way to gamefiles.virginmedia.com and asked him to send me one there. The one he sent me is 15% the way through so, as far as I am aware, can not be cached?

How can this be possible, he has DOCSIS 2, and Ambit 256 modem. I thought maybe the picture had been edited but can't see any signs of it?

You can see hes on wireless, with 3 paint docs open! norfolk 'n' chance.

Someone on a previous post said that using grabit to download .txt files would show different speed than normal, well I dont download text files, when I download all my files are always .RAR and .PAR files.

Hope this proves I am getting faster speeds than normal.
Also as I am writing this my speed as now just dropped to 2096 kps on Grabit and I would like to re check the Modem Config but I just don't have time sry.

Lets take in thoery everything went wrong on virgin end (and i mean completely wrong even takign into account only DOCSIS3 is capable of 50MB) and you where gettign 50MB.

You do realize how daft your grabit edit is? you left in the amount left to download and the amount of time left, a quick calculation reveals for 11 minutes left with the amoutn your downlaoding your on 20MB not sure why you are saying 50MB.

Ok i can not see any flaws in your picture and went calculating how much is left and the time left they more less are the exact same but there a slight margin of error in calculation which explains why there not the same. Although i am have doubts over this as you do have paint open.

Not read any other posts on you so not sure what modem or DOCSIS your on.

had an extreme laugh as if you look at the grabit page, he edited the time off on time remaining so you couldnt work out 1.5GB is about 10mins on 20meg but forgot to check the bottom where there is clearly 11mins remaining.

additionally the copy and pasted 4s are a laugh, and the none showing of the taskbar.

he also has a proxy running for his newsgroups.

Yes, all the newly elected mods have 100Mbps. It's a perk of the job, the more senior team members have anything from 250 - 1,000....

Wow!!...what sort of upload do the mods get? I heard a rumour that its 25mb for the new mods and an amazing 100mb for the senior ones, is that correct?

Does anyone else think that this is getting a bit boring now?

Horace · 06-08-2008, 18:58

It was boring from the 1st post, they like to humor the idiots here.
