internet speed

[cain]

just tested my download speed for work at pcpitstop,

download speed: 835 kilobits per second
divide by 8 to get the speed in kb? ~100kb dl rate sucks

 

[FoBoT]

you are wrong

 

[cain]

so correct me if i am wrong please

 

[olds]

Actually the ~100kb, would be ~100 kB, use captial B for bytes and lower case b for bits.

But math is correct.

yeah, you need to be more specific

 

[DaveSimmons]

You do realize that's 15-20 times the speed of dialup don't you?

 

[Syrch]

okay, you are wrong

 

[scorpmatt]

capitalization is key when dealing with kb, kB, mb, mB, gb, and gB

 

[Kelemvor]

I got: Download speed: 12881 kilobits per second

 

[cain]

but still, i thought it should be a lot faster than that.

edit: just tested again, its now 292kb, damn it!

Why? Most companies don't want to spend extra on their connection just to speed up your meerkat pr0n downloads.
