No fair injecting work networks.

I just turned mine up after receiving an additional $15 charge for going over monthly limit.

This is what an extra $5/mo gives me. Took them at least a minute to change after I got off of the phone.

Download looks OK, the upload is kinda' slow.

Yes and I can't find on their site what it is supposed to be. Will have to call them later after I test again at a better time of the day.

On the plus side of that, I won't go over my limit so fast.

I need to check my distro for its' next quarterly release. Can't wait to see how fast I get it now. This down speed is 40% faster than I have ever had. It is pretty good for small Canadian city and no other service here comes close.

If you actually get 14-15mbits steady-state, that's certainly a decent download speed. I lived with Comcast's anemic 6mbit for a long time, and their 3mbit before that!

I'll get back to you when there is a new release I am interested in getting.

In the past, I downloaded Opensuse, a 4+GB file, at an average of 900+KB/s. That was when I had 10Mb/s connection. Allocating time is also put into average.

mine is too slow to even show, but the minitest shows

WOW! 36kbit isn't even good dial-up speed!

How about 3kb/s. That's about all I've ever been able to get where I live. Can't get high speed unless satellite which is toooo expensive!

JohnWill · 03-Oct-2009, 01:59 PM **#41**

3kbits or 3kbytes? 3kbytes is about normal for remote dialup connections.

rameam · 03-Oct-2009, 02:30 PM **#42**

I thought they were the same???? What's a kbit?

JohnWill · 03-Oct-2009, 03:48 PM **#43**

Bytes have 8 bits, so if you get 3kbytes, you have roughly a 24kbit connection (not allowing for protocol overhead).

rameam · 03-Oct-2009, 04:52 PM **#44**

Cool! Thanks.

BTW, I did install a program called Dialup Plus which seems to help load pages faster. It was mentioned somewhere in the forums (maybe here?).
