! first time i have EVER seen somebody get higher then the advertised speeds (nearly double too)!! i guess thats why cable is good.. we only have ADSL access over here in australia, u have to be lucky to get cable...
We do have cable in australia.... and fiber... just only in the capitals.
School and home:
School blows home out of the water.....however at home it's always perfectly consistent (DSL) and I control the firewall.
oh my lord!! gotta love that!! do u have download restrictions??
Yea the connection is pretty tightly controlled by the IT department, though stuff like iTunes downloads go really, really fast. I've pegged downloads from Apple (iTunes/software updates) at several megabytes/sec before. Songs I've bought on iTunes are usually done before I click the Downloads tab.
