How wrong aint this?

My classmate told me that one of his friends' friends had ordered a 256 kbps ADSL line, but the company did something wrong, so he got an 8 Mbps(!) line instead, and he's only paying for 256 kbps!

They tried to download from a fast server (10 Mbps), and got constant speeds at ~730 kbps, and it took 33 minutes (!) to download an SVCD (~800 MB).

Well, I'm just jealous. Seems like it's happening to everyone except me..

8 MBP/s , FUCK OFF !

I got a 1mb line although I'm only paying for 512kbps...

I always thought I was the lucky one...

Tell him to beware, though - Sonera tried to make me pay for the 1mb line although it is clearly their fault...

When I told them I wouldn't pay they said they'd change it back to 512kbps ASAP... it's been over a year now and nothing's happened...

Good for you Mr.Mystery

Well this guy ordered it from Elisa, so I guess we can't blame Sonera for that one

call up your provider and complain about slow connection speeds - do this every week for a few weeks - they'll typically just crank up the your bandwidth until you're happy.. at least that works here in so cal.

How do you find out your connection speed?

When the guy was hooking up the cable in my room, he said the cable net can easily go 2mb.

I'm not so sure, because most of the time it's slow as fuck (well, I am sharing connection with my sisters computer through a Hub, and the whole street has cable practically)

so where can I find out what my speed is? When downloading from the hub, I can usually go about 7kbps (bleh) to around 25-30kbps (not bad). I haven't tried downloading any movies in a while cuz I hate GAYzaa, so I can't really judge through that.

No Elisahan ne meillekin k�vi piuhat vet�m�ss� - Soneran pojat kun eiv�t saa koskea noihin johtoihin ollenkaan.

Sit� vaan meinasin, ett� �lk�� ihmetelk� jos rupeavat kaveriasi syytt�m��n tapahtuneesta...

Basically, if I'm not mistaken, it's the fastest speed in KBs you've ever gotten times ~8 to give you your bandwith in kbs. So if 30KBs is the fastest you've gotten your line is ~240kbs - which is shit .

Oh no, 30kbps isn't the fastest I've gotten. I can transfer stuff to my sister at speeds well over 300kbps. Granted, she's only about 10 metres away from me

30kbps is the fastest it goes on average, from the hub anyways, but on Audiogalaxy it had a slightly faster average downloading speed.
