[wellylug] Paradise 2MB Cable

Just got off the phone to Paradise and they reset things for me. I am now
getting around 200KB/s downloads off Citylink FTP.

I had to reboot my router as well which takes all of 5 - 10 secs to do.

An hour to download 1 ISO isn't to bad for home use.

Regards

Michael

MD> Can anyone that has 2MB cable tell me what speed I should be getting?

Firstly the change won't happen until your next billing cycle (well at
least that's how it used to work).

Secondly 2Mb (note the lowercase b) = maximum of 256KB/s download speeds (at
full bandwidth usage, which
is of course virutally impossible (allowing for packet overheads etc.)
