667074 2008-07-02 19:59:00 And Telecom haven't given me a download or upload speed, just the line speed, I don't know if this is good or not for this country:

6258.4Kbps
767KB/s

I don't know, but I think Telecom do their measuring in Kilo BYTES per second, not bits, so that KB/s sounds about right for the "Pro" plan, who knows. Telecom confuse me because they say Kilo BYTES but I think it's bits. Confusing business...

You just apply logic, if your upload line speed theoretical maximum is around 1M bits per second you can't get 767k (.7M) Bytes per second.

The download quantity is measured in Bytes

Edit. If the 767 was a speedtest download then that would be Bytes as it's about line speed/8.

Yeah, unfortuntely I'm confused but I'm just repeating what was written on the sites.
