Oh 5Mbits, that's not a lot, We thought it goes 5MBytes per second...

Well I am not sure its bits or bytes cause never cared to look at it
When I checked now on my office computer it was showing 200KB/s
and by standard notations i guess this is KiloBytes
Will have to check on my home computer
As I was not sure whether it is bits or bytes and didnt wanted to exagrate so I prefered writing Mb rather than MB

Anyways whatever it is I guess its a good speed

Ok, so you have 5Mbits (That's pretty fast anyways)
As you know 8bits = 1Byte
Internet speed is marked with Mbits. 5Mbits / 8 = 0,625MBytes/s = 640Kbytes/s

I also thought the same
But when I checked now on my office computer while downloading an file using IE
it showed 200KB/s
So i guess download speeds are marked in Bytes/s rather than Bits/s

Yes, But I said Internet speed (As Advertised by ISPs), ofcourse Download speed (marked in KB/s) is more useful.

I've got 56k dial up connection. I always get screwed when downloading tstuffs.

Someone Electro · 1st August 2005, 11:36 AM

You shod see how crapy ADSL is provided by Arnes.It can be worse than dialup.So its cheap.

The thing downloads 10kB/s!!! somtines even down to 2 kB/s.

Exo · 1st August 2005, 02:07 PM

That depends on where you are getting your download from, if the server can only give 2K/sec you will only download at that speed...

Try downloading something large on bittorrent (something good with a lot of seeds), that's a true test for internet speed...
700Kb/sec is nothing special

Someone Electro · 1st August 2005, 03:28 PM

No its from an website i get from 200Kb/s to 100Kb/s at home.I dont know why there speed sucks sooooo much.
