Re: broadband speeds



This result is typical for me. My average download is 50.68. My upload average of 1.85Mb is still slightly inflated by the 5Mb trial I was on last year. I cannot remember the last time I had a download speed test below 50Mb any time of day.

Erm, 50,358Kbps is 50Mbits, so that is the speed he should be getting....

It's 50Mb speed, not 50MB.... (8 bits to the Byte)
