It's not accurate all the time. It depends on many factors like other program using the bandwidth and stuff like that. Even your antivirus doing automatic update in background might give you a lower result.

Also when your ISP says you will have 8 Mbps speed they mention UPTO 8Mbps not EXACTLY 8 Mbps.

ISP's quote you theoretical speeds. that's basically down to the box around the corner.

and anyway, it's mostly to do with line noise/quality, not sheer speed. anything over 1MB/sec (around 100K/sec) will do for XBL. just make sure your line's solid and you don't live too far from the server or mirror.

that's MS's achilles heel - there isn't enough pipe i guess around the globe to make everyone happy.

In other words, 1 MB = 100 KB?

But this says otherwise: http://www.google.ca/search?q=KB+to+MB&amp...:en-US:official

Or am I misunderstanding.

No, a 1Mb/s connection will get you between a 100-125KB/s download speed.

1MB = 1024KB though most places just use 1000KB

1Mb = 1/8MB

So, the theoretical download speed of an 8Mb/s connection is 1MB/s, however, actual speeds tend to be between 850-900KB/s

When school (university) is in session, typical speeds are about 12Mbps down in the ResHalls. If for some reason I'm in the reshalls when school isn't in session, it can get up to 30Mbps. At home, I get 3Mbps. I don't experience network related lag at any of those places.

and im supposed to be onj 8mb, yes tiscali suck and yes i lag like hell on XBL

first of all yes i agree tiscali do suck, pings speeds are all bad!

second... why are you using the paris server? dublin or london also have servers so surely you would get better speeds their?

well saying that i did a test the other week and some place in france begining with an R gave me the best results

im on 8Mb/s and sometimes get lag but others do share the connection its also connected wirelessly.

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.178

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.178 changelog: Fixed certain extensions not working as expected. (#56271) Fixed inability to use Brave Sync in certain cases. (#55203) Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.196. (#56598) Download: Brave Browser 64-bit | 1.2 MB (Freeware) Download: Brave Browser 32-bit View: Brave Homepage | Offline Installers | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
