391220 2005-09-27 02:49:00 Hi there people I changed my jetstream plan to the 2Mbps from the 1Mbps one. The changes came into effect today, well the speed seems pretty much right my connection icon in the system tray still says 1Mbps can I change it to say 2Mbps?
I have tried rebooting the modem and reinstalling it with no luck.

Any Ideas or do I have to put up with it saying 1Mbps ?

I am on the 2Mbps plan I get connections of up to 4.5 Mbps. I was on the 256kbps plan and my connection showed at 320kbps

391222 2005-09-27 03:03:00 Im thinking they must have changed it because on the xtra usage page it has the new plan on there already Overdrive_5000 (4950)

391224 2005-09-27 03:14:00 Yeah its right says 2005 Kbps, But shouldnt it say 2mbit in the connection icon too ? Overdrive_5000 (4950)
391225 2005-09-27 06:44:00 Yeah its right says 2005 Kbps, But shouldnt it say 2mbit in the connection icon too ?

That speed is correct for 2MB. 2MB is technically 2048 Kbps so 2005 is close (as fast as up to 2MB)

Your Download speed while downloading a file from a fast source will be around 240 Kb/s ish.
