To be honest if you were going to comment on any of the uk rap crap the plan b album is 1000 times "worse" that anything dizzee has done in the last 5 years.
In fairness that dizzee one was to go with the DJ software, its the acapella version. ____________________ I am a bellend, I am a man of constant sorrow, I am a gummy bear, I am a rock. |

Then you shouldn't be getting those kind of speeds - my 50meg line is a top-tier Virgin cable connection (one of those ones using fancy fiber optics to the street cabinets). However, that said, i've momentarily seen some amazing speeds in past if you happen to start/stop/unpause a download and if it happens to finish whilst it's having one of these funny turns then it could explain the unusually high figures.
Easiest way to know is to test it properly - (using, i am amused to note, the same 3rd party website the Virgin engineer used to check my speed when he set up the connection):
https://www.speedtest.net/
(Just stop doing all downloading etc for a minute, then go to that website, wait for it to load, then click on the gold star and wait, post the results if confused/unclear). ____________________ -- Ingah |

I live in a shared house, one house mate plays COD4 on xbox and one plays all sorts of PC games on-line, if all three of us are on at the same time it slows right down.
If nobody else is in then it doesn't seem to change no matter what time of day.
Anyway, I will be happy with my download speeds now

It's not the speed of your connection that makes most difference, it's the source that's hosting the data. It's down to their usage and speeds more than anything. Unless it's peak times. ____________________ 57 Huoniao HN125-8 - , 97 Kawasaki GPZ500S -

8mbps does NOT equal 8mb(8000kb) per second but 800KB per second. |
As above, almost. There are 8 bits in a byte, so an 8mbps (megabits per second) line will not yeild download speeds of 8192kbps* (kilobytes per second). You can expect a theoretical 1024kbps, although you will never actually achieve that due to overheads (which people tend to forget). Also, the programs reporting the speed (explorer etc) are unlikely to be 100% accurate.
Also remember most of these lines quote "up to" the speed available. I have "up to 8mbps" and achieve a fairly consistent 4mbps (which is down to my distance from the exchange, line quality etc)...
Then, as also mentioned, some ISPs will throttle the bandwidth of "enthusiastic" users during peak times (read: the evening).
* A kilobyte is not 1000 bytes, it's 1024. A megabyte is 1024 kilobytes etc. |
... I was saying what i said in the top quote above in response to c_dug posting his speed test result - i.e. this: https://www.speedtest.net/result/949754156.png which, as i was saying, clearly shows an "up to 8Mbps" (megabits per second) line, as this is clearly a far more reliable reading than what his web browser calculated (as i explained in my first post). If you read my first post you'll see i'm quite aware of the difference between kilobits (Kbps) and kilobytes (KB/s) per second, along with megabytes (MB/s) and megabits (Mbps) per second. I have put the abbreviations i have used for each item next to it so as to make it clear what i mean (and also how to calculate between them*), as people are in the habit of using different ones interchangeably.
So i stand by my point i.e. c_dug, you have a normal speed "up to 8Mbps" line. Enjoy
* Apart from if you're a hard drive manufacturer, where it is well known that you openly lie about the number of gigabytes your drive has by using rounded off figures and other marketing nasty tricks. ____________________ -- Ingah |
