Over 1.3mb/s total, i achieved over 2.1mb/s about 3 mins after that SS was taken, and my line speed is 17mb so my theoretical maximum is 1.7mb/s.
I dl'd a 700mb movie in 10 mins :O

You must be shitting me.
Wow.
O_O
As you can see, they all have 1 connection except for the fastest which has 2. That's cos i accidentally had the max connections set to 8. I realized after that SS and changed it to 15, and it hit 2.1 mb/s for about 20 seconds before half of them fnnished.
Pirate with Fast internetz!!!

Sadly it can only fit "Pirate with Fast internet" though :(
If you put wif, like I did, then it would fit :P
Haha i didn't think it would catch on :P
I can has?
Someone i know in india gets 70MB/second.. seriously. The guy spend ALOT of money on his connection tho.
Wut is dat?
The fastest connection possible (although not available as far as i know) at the moment is a 100mb line which is, as you know, the speed of your average LAN connection. The transfer rate of that is 10mb/s. Are you suggesting this friend of yours has a GIGABYTE (which would have a maximum download speed of 100mb/s) internet connection? That means their phone line bandwidth is 1 GIGABYTE which is not possible since more than 75% of PC's do not even have that much bandwidth on their NIC's. I think somebody is lying to you :)Quote:

Wrong, theoretically your max is 17/8 = 2,125MB/s :tongue:Quote:

And no i do not live right next to the exchange, it's a 5 minute drive away (25 minute walk).Quote:

Yeh most speed testers are very inaccurate, it gives me a speed of 9500 kbps. That would give me a download speed of about 900kb/s, yet i can do more than double of that.
Chances are it was either photoshoped or he misread it.
That wouldn't be able if your theoretical max was 1,7mb/s.Quote:

Also note that besides the school, i am 1 of only 5 other houses who uses the cable in this area so we get awesome speeds.
terrorfel has faster :P
you both have faster than me :(
I only have 8 mbit =/
