I knew steam had fast downloads, just didn't realize how fast

If you're going to go with a larger byte size, why arbitrarily stop at petabytes?

3.19 exabytes/s

No petabyte to exabyte translator found in google, too lazy to work out by myself :cool:

EDIT: Oh yeah... you just divide by 1024... forgot that :oops:

not to sound to harsh.. but even at that speed the big games take like 60 minutes.. unless you are downloading several games every day.. cant you maybe do something else for 60 minutes? hehe cant surf fast... its like the people complaining that they make millions and have to pay in so much in taxes.. easy.. don't make it.. join the rest of us who get to download games in half days.. No i actually get about eh same speed you do.. but I really dont have to much problems doing more stuff.. maybe no Netflix (no, i can do that too, but its really crappy looking).. Im just giving ya heck.. not the worst problem you could have. :)

I know, first world problems right?...I would say in Korea they can download in minutes, but then again they have to worry about nuclear annihilation at any time, that's not fun.

My peak is 2.1MB/s which is pretty good for a 19$/month connection in Alberta, Canada.
/bang for buck brag

I peak at 15MB/s $30 month with Rogers in Toronto. The joys of lying and telling them you are going to cancel just to get a deal.

I'm with Rogers in Oshawa (16 miles east of T.O.). I pay $79.99 for 35 Mbs and a 120GB a month download limit. Rogers allows you to have way more bandwidth than you're paying for if traffic is slow so many times I have over 100 Mbs available to me which rocks.
