speed cap? none except the cable^^ so in an ideal situation i might got 100MB/s....but just in theorie

in traffic we are capped in 1gb a day in upload, then the speed slows down dynamicly until we reach 1,5gb

oh 1GB a day. thats kinda frustrating, but better then my uni! we have to pay for internet at our uni, $20 gives us roughly 2GB of net.

that's australia for you! :(

who the hell cares what other people's connection speeds are...
Guess you don't see the spirit of this thread. :rolleyes:

I have just moved back home from where I had cable internet. Now I have this :(
Remember days before broadband and we had dial up modems?

Started out with 300 baud or about 30 bytes (with correction codes) per second. Just think how long it would take to DL a movie from the iTMS! :eek: :)

I wish there was more options here. We have a t1 service in the apartment complex too but everyone shares it. Then we have Consolidated Smart Systems, the crappiest internet service I have ever gotten. Every week I have to call them because I'm not getting full speed.

Back when you could read the text faster then it appeared on the screen. Goodtimes. I ran a C-Net 64 board on a Commodore 64 back then. lol.

how much do you normally download a month?
I don't really know, but I do know it is less than 250 GB at home as I can only use 1 TB if it was 100% use 24/7. And on the gigabit connection, I have webserver traffic to take into account too.
