u get a download limit?!!!:| in what country is this?
RE: ur connection by Reaper on 06-17-2005 at 08:34 PM

UK. most companies here if they are popular give a download limit every month or so. it accounts for everything from using torrents to loading images on sites

Unless you do a lot of filesharing, you shoudn't get anywhere near this limit.

I'm on 2Mbit NTL cable broadband myself. Not sure about the upload/download split, but it's probably the same speed both ways unlike ADSL.

Update: Just did a test using the site linked to below:
Download - 2Mb/s
Upload - 200kb/s
RE: ur connection by Reaper on 06-17-2005 at 09:37 PM

well ntl are gonna start the limits at the end of the year. for the 1 Mb connection its 5Gb a month and for the 2Mb connection is 1Gb a day which would suit me but my parents wont upgrade to that :(


RE: ur connection by Eljay on 06-17-2005 at 09:38 PM

Why? Cause I hate this fuckin company that's the only one providing adsl.... and their stupid customer service that doesn't do shit and says "working fine for us" :@

edit:

just did an online test.... check out the misery:

Download Bandwidth Test Results
Download speed: 93 kilobits per second


93 kiloBITS ... now if you don't think paying $80 a month for this connection isn't pathetic.... you have a problem...
