WOWEY!!!

So I called my internet cable company, Charter to cancel a tech appointment for someone to come to my house to fix my cable service, as the problem I was having just stopped. Anyways, when I'm talking to the guy he says "I can upgrade your service..." I was paying $67 a month for 1.5 Mbps download, and now it was just upgraded to 2.0 Mbps download for $44 a month!!! YIPEE!

Such a question will brand you lots of replies from the local Torrent leechers here heh.

3Mbps is often not enough for even most here who use the internet to get games and stuff, or movies especially.

It's not that I don't understand people would like to have 3Mbps or higher, but even if you have a 3Mbps bandwidth with your ISP, it does not mean you have that speed when downloading from somewhere in the world. Overal download speed is determined by whatever bottleneck there is between you and the source of the information. I have not yet found a site where I have actually attained the theoretical bandwidth available with my 2Mbps (certainly not when downloading from the US), and I am wondering whether anyone has actually gotten a 2Mbps bandwidth or higher when downloading from the net. I am talking Internet downloading here, not downloading from a lan.

Anyone ever had a transatlantic download with that kind of bandwidth?

Anyone knows whether there are sites that are measuring internet backbone bandwidths and/or internet nexus points?

Do you have cable or (A)DSL?

Depending on how your provider works, bandwidth is either hard enforced (in other words, it's cut off at anything higher than what you're paid for) or an indication depending on how many people are actually using the same connection to the ISP at a given time. With cable it is usually not enforced so if you are the first in the neighborhood to get it, you're the DUDE. Of course later you will curse the connection for getting slower and slower as more people start to participate.

Just for reference, 2Mbps is equivalent to 244.1 KB ps (1024 bytes in a K). With bits it is just 1000 bits in a Kbit. At least that's what I have seen around for definitions.

I have cable. I've had it for over a year now. I live in a small neighborhood, so hopefully it will never get overused and slow.
