The Elephant in the room that we all ignore when discussing speeds. If my office has a 2Mbps link and I am all alone at 1.00 a.m in the morning downloading a single 10 GB file from a server in Newzealand, will I get a download speed of 2Mbps? @ Watchie,There are many more factors to speed than what the Service provider sells you e.g Protocol used (say HTTP vs FTP, TCP vs UDP), Window size, MTU, Round trip time, application e.g (peer to peer ) etc. So I guess the correct answer is, it depends :-) On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 12:12 PM, Bernard Mwagiru <bmwagiru@gmail.com> wrote:

A little secret - even if you are on the unlimited monthly bundle - the moment you cross the 5GB download line - you are automatically capped to 128 kbps or 512 kbps... I know one or two networks that do this.
It is a term called "Fair Usage Policy" - meant to keep file-sharing mongers in check [?][?][?]
Such are the workings of capitalist minds [?][?]
