and I thought AT&T in the US was the worst.
I heard Rogers LTE is decent? I may very well be wrong.
To make you more miserable, if I disabled wifi and stopped torrenting, download does reach 9xx
From where to download OS X El Capitan? It's not available in AppStore. And I can't seem to find it on Apple's website.
What about for us Brits? GMT time please
Think you'll find it's 6pm BST for us.
In addition to the "I like it" button below, there really should be one labelled "I envy it"
I just envy your upload speed mizxco. By the way, with these speeds, when I was on a PC, even with a SSD I was getting disk speed cache errors or something like that when I was torrenting files. A strong router is also needed for such speeds and I'm also very happy that my 13' rMBP has a strong WiFi card.
Anyway, I wanted to say that with almost 500mb/s download speed, when Yosemite was released I was getting about 300-500kbps download speeds, so my connection didn't really help.
I remember going to the states 3 years ago... I had to bookmark my speedtest results lol ..
Wow, that in 2012 is actually quite impressive.
Having fast internet where I am is useless,
I can't even utilize that bandwidth for Netflix, 4K prime videos etc.
The Xcode 7.01 update from yesterday (3.5 GB) was fast after a terrible long waiting period (15 minutes ?). Installation took ages though.
If Apple has enough capacity it should take 15 minutes only on my 70+ Mbps VDSL connection. I'm curious if this will be a painless upgrade.

I think Beta releases, Apple apps, Software Updates and 3rd party Apps are on different distribution networks.
I remember back when the first Yosemite public beta came out, it took me fairly long to download.
It never cached in my local CDN and took well over 40 mins to download.
Btw, the update failed for me. I deleted it from Applications and downloaded a fresh copy. Was faster this way.

Depends heavily on WHEN you try to download. If anybody tries even the best internet connection gives you long waiting times.
