    It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

    It's supposed to be 6MB but I hardly ever achieve that speed, so I selected 3/5MB. Cheap ass ISP.

    Heck though I never see anything faster than 2.0, 2.1 Mbps. Rip-off.

    It do makes difference, 1 KiloByte = 8 KiloBit.

    So i vote the wrong option , it should be
    Code:
    150-350kb/s

    Oh, i just always thought that both kilobyte and kilobit was equal to 10^3 (10 to the power of 3). sorry

    MikeTbob, can you tell me, how much you paid that ISP?
    It's really fast connection (from my point of view).

    In my country, I paid about $32/month for ADSL connection @384kb/s, and
    the quota is 1000Mb. That's very-very expensive.

    I wonder, and just want to compare the prices.
