Hi guys
Whoever got a broadband connection are free to reply in this post
Those who dont have a broadband connection are also free to reply in this post

So I get around 512kbps
But my download speed is around 64kbps
Why is that so?

u r using a 512 kb connection which means 512/8 = 64 KBps

OMG ... AGAIN WITH THE BITS AND BYTES ..
ok we're gonna make a sticky soon

GET THIS
you have 256 / 512 kbps connection
thats kilobits per second
1BYTE = 8 BITS
hence divide the figure by 8

hence 256kbps = 32kBps
512kbps = 64kBps

b = bits
B = bytes ..

ARRGHH SOMEOENE
lets write a BINARY and bit byte tutorial now !!!!!

yikes!!! raven man u have some patience i must say...!! on seeing the mix-n-match of bits and bytes once again i had no courage left in me to correct him!!

and yes we DO need a sticky for this...
but on the other hand,how many do u think will have a look at sticky before posting something like this??
