40152 2002-03-22 11:11:00 Mmmmm~ I'm getting modem speeds on my Jetstart connection!

Ok I admit I downloaded 2gigagbytes in just 4 days (somehow) but why the hell did they limit the maximum download speed to 5 kilobytes a sec? - without even telling me.

I think it's unfair for us little bandwidth hungry former modem users, when we have harnessed such a power. Hehehe.

Do they actually have the rights to do this?
And also does Telecom do this as well?
If not I'd better make a few adjustments... hoho.


much replies would be appreciated;)

at my calculations, at 5k per second you would only be able to download 432mb a day (roughly) so you'd have had to have been downloading 24 hours a day for 4.6 days at a constant 5k per second to have got your 2gb... so I'd suggest you've been downloading at a lot faster than 5k per second.
