Your connection is: 569 Kbps
You downloaded at: 70 KB/s
Diagnosis: may need help: running at only 31.56% of your hosts average

So I pay them 100% and they give me 32%. Not too bad for sunday afternoons I guess.

1MB/s I wish I could hit that speed as well.

Or do you mean 1Mb/s

A 1MB/s connection is about the equivilent of an 8Mb/s connection.

I am about to start a different thread on Connection speed/price, to see what other people pay (in different parts of the world) for similar connection speeds.

yea, i meant 1Mb, what is the difference between 1MB and 1Mb...Because I know there is a diff between 1KB and 1Kb, how do you calculate the difference?

funny though for me, usually i can download at up 500kb a second alot more than it states.

but then again, stress on the server, or peak times may be involved.

hmm, nice connection at work. Guess there's not many people pumping data to clients at the moment :)

Your connection is: 3039 Kbps (about 3 Mbps)
You downloaded at: 371 kB/s
Your TRuSPEED: ^info^ 3252 Kbps :: 397 kB/s (7% overhead factored)

I've experienced faster though. Fastest was with a client where I downloaded 120+ megabytes in under 2 minutes.

I guess that's pretty good for being on wireless.

1b = 1 bit e.g. a 1 or a 0
1B = 8 bits e.g. 1101 1011
1Kb = 1024 bits
1KB = 1024 Bytes

The difference is that a byte is 8 bits

1Mb = 1024Kbits
1MB = 1024KBytes

In general aB is 8 times greater than a b

Data storage is nearly always measured in Bytes
Data transfer is nearly always measured in bits

Hope that lot makes sense :D
