BF2S Forums How fast are your downloads?

And don't forget that if it says bit, you have to divide by 8 to get byte, so 8 Megabit = 1Megabyte.

So a 10MBit connection would give me speeds of 1.25MB/s, right?
I dunno if we wanna switch providers though. We are on Telus right now, and the speeds are so slow

500KB/s

Good enough, wont expect any more until the UK upgrades itself to fibre optic all over.

260 is quickest i get with 2 Mbps from pipex

lol at everyone totally not reading how the thread advances.

And yes, but only in theory. so basicly in optimal circumstances, you will get 1.25MB/s, more likely is 800-900k I think. Depends a bit.
And yeah I know it when speeds are slow, but if you pay like 25$ a month now, switching might not be worth it. if you pay 40/50$ already, switching would be a wise option.

depends where you download, torrents usually go slower than downloading something from internet.

160k is do-able, but pretty slow compared to what you can get. 160k is a bit more than a 1Mbit connection, but a 10Mbit connection can get speeds like 1.2MB/s in optimal situations. So it's oké for normal surfing behavior and most games, but an upgrade wouldn't hurt.

(btw I have only 200k usually, but then again, I only have to pay 10€/month).

I pay 8€ a month and get 8mbps.

/pwned.

my average is 350kb with comcast...50 bucks a month for that shit

50 faster than him, Comcast blows

I just did that speed test in your sig....4387 up, 525 down.  Is that good or bad, or normal?

1.5Mbps
i pay for 2Mbps shit my connection sucks bad

We have a shaw business connection here at work (supposedly dedicated) and it sucks.  My speeds at home with telus are 2 or 3 times faster.  Shaw's mail servers also break down several times a month.

Slowest I've had would be around 0.8kb/s. Best I have had would be around 950kb/s. It depends on the server.

btw: i read the first page and then couldnt be bothered...
i live in the UK and i have tiscali 2.2 MBps i have a router which supports 100MBps .... the highest Dl speed i have had (EVER) is 200 KB/s ( i think) and that was some random DL through DAP. i have had around 120 at best (20-50 on averages~ cant even remember havnt torrented for ages) on legal torrents and.....



btw... some1 tell me if this is good??? for a tiscali 2.2 MB/s connection (btw i have been moved into the heavy user group, but im told it only affects me in peak hours?)
