do I have the 50mb service?
My download speed from giganews maxes out at 7.44mB/s (see attached jpg) which if I translate to megabits equals 60mb!? Am I missing something here?? I'm in the Camden area which, from what I read in the past, isn't one of the 50mb trial areas.
Cheers!

According to that it's 7millibytes per second...now that is weird!!!

PS..without a new modem you won't get 50Mb as the 50Mb trial is on Docsis3

Ok how large was the whole download, and how long did it take to download? If you can supply both those details we can work out roughly the real speed that you downloaded at.

I thought that was strange but was going on the model number they gave out, they also do another verion designed for pure DOCSIS which is the DPC2100

No it doesn't? From the features "Backward compatible with existing EuroDOCSIS 1.1 and 1.0 networks".

Re: do I have the 50mb service?
I don't use Newsbin pro but isn't that just showing how much he's downloaded on that particular part? The top column says size and not speed.
