    let me explain it this way: there were times when a download suddenly stopped because there allegedly hadn't been a connection, though i had been surfing at that time..
    so i'm glad if i actually AM able to download something, i don't care about the speed anymore, or i'm ratherly not destined to..

    I've seen my connection top 1mbps on rare occasions. However, I'm convinced as of late that my ISP is throttling my download speeds as I'm lucky to get over 200kbps. Supposedly they made some changes to their internet packages a while ago without really telling anyone. Luckily I'll be moving in less than a month and can tell them to shove their stupid internet packages while going with a faster company.

    Probably the upper end of "nice." I don't download a ton of big things, and when I do download torrents it's reasonably fast.

    I love Usenet.

    I used to have 6 Mbit/s. Ah, how the mighty have fallen.

    Mine depends on its mood and the ambience. Sometime the green bar fill up real fast and cum! But the other time it take forever to fill the green bar up!
