451979 2006-05-04 05:18:00 Hi, My connection has reciently been put up to 3.5mb/s. When it went up, it didn't go to 3.5mb/s, but 600kb/s. It has once gone up to 1.5mb/s, but normally just stays around 600kb/s. The connection speed changes slightly every time I connect (every time my router is started up). Does anyone know what would be causing this?

Thanks,
Sparq

451982 2006-05-04 06:20:00 divide yoru monthly fee by 3.5 then multiply the result by 0.6 then pay that amount that'll get you some FAST action lol...... drcspy (146)

You know, I actually think thats a good idea and failr. Send payment along with a log of monthly speeds to prove your calc's. LOL

Some are getting 25% of the service while paying for 100%

Yeah, I think I'll do that

I don't think it'd be that, because I have had 1.5mb/s download speed once.

Just to let you know you connection is 3.5mbps (mega bits a sec, not megabytes a sec) so 600kps is correct. the max speed of my 2mbps line is 250kb/s

try this speed test www.speakeasy.net

it will show you both figures, Mbps and Kbps

451987 2006-05-04 11:49:00 Isn't the convention to use Mbps to mean mega bits per second and MBps to mean mega bytes per second?
And 1 byte = 8 bits?
