56k mode here. That would be 4kbps in optimal circumstances!



I remember downloading Sam&Max (200MB) for more than 20 hours!

Whoa that's something, I don't think I would ever try to download something that huge on 56k, way too long for me to wait..

Up to 26 Mbit down and 1 (!!!!!) Mbit up (theoretical)

In practical use, i've gotten 1.3 Mega Byte / second as maximum = 10,4 Mega Bit / Second. Just need better UP-speed, and i'm happy.

I get 4kbps downloads, biggest file I downloaded was 60mb took 4 hours, it was the 1.1 update for Starwars Battlefront. The best map ever came with that download.
