download 24Mbps, upload 2Mbps.

Funny story. I was listening to an ad for my ISP on the radio, and in the disclaimer for their claim of like "20x faster than dsl" the guy said "based on the claim that dsl is at 3 megabytes per second and optimum is at 50 megabytes per second". I was like, WOW! 50 MBps! That's AMAZING! that's 400mbps! and it's only 49.99 a month! sign me up!

That seems kinda fast for a cheesy SBC DSL connection...

I have "8Mb" at home so Comcast says but I usually get around 6 or 7. Still its freakin fast. Really how quick do we need shit to download.

Do any of you recall 56K or even sometimes you could only get in the 20s...that was painful

The test says I get 60kbps on my Uni connection. Bah.

It's about right, too, it's barely faster than dial-up... Hardly ever disconnects though.
