van and josiekiller...

your argument about false advertising and crap has been done over and over again www.whirlpool.net.au forums on BigPond.

yes i know its gay.. but its bigpong what can you do about it...

i knew the cap was coming last month.. so i slowed downed completely.. i went for nuts on the last day of the month. used to be the entire week... but yeah.. bigpond do cap on the spot now..

on another note.. why would you want to download so many stuff on the first week of the month? :\

and the 64kbps cap is actually shitter than dialup.. you may think its better but its fuck shit.

64kbps is the MAXIMUM they can give you but they don't have to.. when you're capped, you're more like downloading at 1.8kb/s

shitty bigpong

with that user.bigpond site, i got 3245650 bps
which is 405,706.25 Bytes/s
which is 405.7 KB/sec
^^ Better ^^

And i reckon bigpond should raise their upload cap from 128 to like 256 kbps coz at school when I access my FTP server, max download speed is 16KB/s i want more

It varies if you do it at different times of the day (for cable) - It'd be slower during peak times.
