Septimus Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 400k/sec. Pretty sweet. Not quite as good as my 2.5Gb Dark Fibre :D 10MBytes a sec. Well if the server I'm downloading from can match that. Which it usually can't :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaMan Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 I'm running on a 28.8 and are doomed to stay on to it until the phone companies finally provide connectivity, which is in 3-4 years. I'm jealous wired57! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deadzombie Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Now that you have broadband, you'll look for large things to download just because you can...and get annoyed at anyone that whines about signature size here in the forums...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
