| Something is fishy about my ADSL connection
Out of some reason i have currently 1.4MB/s (stable) downloadspeed on my 512kbps ADSL connection.
The REALLY weird bit is that the theoretical maximum downloadspeed of ADSL is around 1 MB/s. (8 mbps)
So. i'm downloading at 300 kbps (total speed: 11 mbps) faster then what's possible o.O;
(speaking of Warp 11 sensation) |

300 kbps is not fast, it's slower then your 512 kbps advertised. Even if you where downloading at 300 kBps you would be less then 3 mbps where as yes ADSL can do 8 mbps. You've gotten your numbers all mixed up. | |

Ok.
My connection is @ 512 kbps.
I am downloading in 1.4 MB/P FRICKIN S.
That's not normal.
As a downloadspeed that high is equal to a connection at 11 Megabit /s, 3 Megabit/s higher than the max speed. | |

Hmm, I guess his connection wasn't that fast after all.  | |

Gotta love trolls. We should probably stop feeding this one. Thinking 300 kbps = 11 mbps should have given it away, which it did to most of us I think. His quote "300 kbps (total speed: 11 mbps)"
