190050 2003-11-08 01:05:00 As of 1:40pm~ Saturday onwards I'm getting consistent 19-20Kb/s download and 2Kb/s upload on my fav P2P program eMule.

Anyone else getting cool speeds on their JetStart?? I'm with Paradise and on the JetStart plan.

190052 2003-11-08 01:26:00 Hmm ... I just downloaded 47 MB off a local ftp server in 12 minutes. Speeds varied between 63-70 KB/s :D

Same here.. :-(

Does anybody know the reason behind this? Why some get nice high speeds they shouldnt be while others dont?

190054 2003-11-08 02:19:00 You guys are lucky, I don’t have any thing I need to download :(

But I do not think I got the speed boost as well :(

Nope just the standard speeds. It happens sometimes. My mate had tripple speed for three days while mine was still the same even though we are only 15kms apart. Just depends on the exchange and the routing.

Use it while it lasts because it wont last long.

190057 2003-11-08 09:44:00 Yea its flippin cranking it out. I've been monitoring the connection and there are 1min spikes that go up to 60kB/sec. Heck I just uploaded a 2.6mb file to a mate on msn in under 10secs at about 44kB/sec. He is in aus on dsl. PoWa (203)
