i doubt anyone that's not living with 500 yards of the exchange will get the claimed speeds because those speeds are theoretical - noone should be able to get the numbers that they claim.
up to 8 meg? (what im paying for) my donkey. im lucky if i get 3.5 meg a second - and even then that's only from uk servers. its a bloody disgrace. the higher the numbers get the greater the gap between claimed and actual.

No, it was 512 already until I tweaked around with the TCP/

And did I do this right? The results look a bit ridiculous

Well it reads in kilo BITS not BYTES.

1byte is = 8bits so you divide that by 8 and you get your download speed.

WOW Ge, that's fast.

hey where is my 600kb/s download speed... all i get is 500 at max.

Tweaking the TCP shouldn't really make your internet connection faster than what you buy.

There will be overhead, other data has to be sent/received.

So can never really in practice reach the maximum speed.

yeah i can get at 556kb/s of an download rate... it seems the difference is my upload speed... odd.

Well it worked for me.

DAMN!

I think they noticed the high bandwidth usage by ONE ISP. That is only Trying the service >.<

I think I got cut. Spoon!

Now I am back to using my old ISP (that I never cut by the way).

Ok UPDATE!

I didnt get cut afterall. Just had some trouble with windows connecting to the router.
