3 TO 5 MEGABIT TRANSMISSION SPEED IS THE USUAL PEAK AND WHAT

NORMAL CABLE SERVICE PROVIDES. ASSUMING YOUR CONNECTION IS

OPTIMIZED, ACTUAL TRANSMISSION WILL DEPEND ON OTHER THINGS

WHICH YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. NOTABLY, COMPETING PROVIDERS

IN YOUR MARKET AREA WILL GIVE PREFERENTIAL ACCESS TO THEIR

OWN SUBSCRIBERS COMPARED TO COMPETITOR'S CUSTOMERS, WHEN

ROUTED WITHIN THEIR NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE ( ALL LINES ARE

SHARED ). THE UP-LOAD SPEED OF THE SERVER YOU ARE DOWN-LOADING

FROM IS THE BIG BOTTLENECK, WHATEVER BANDWIDTH IT ALLOCATES

TO YOU, IS ALL YOU CAN HAVE ( ONE REASON FOR HAVING DOWN-LOAD

MANAGING SOFTWARE THAT MAKES MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS DOWN-LOADING

SIMULTANEOUSLY ). THE TIME OF DAY EITHER WHERE YOU ARE OR AT

THE LOCATION OF THE REMOTE SERVER YOU ARE ACCESSING, WILL

EXPERIENCE GREATER OR LESS TRAFFIC AND DEMAND ( AVOID BUSINESS

HOURS ). EUROPE IS AT LEAST 6 HOURS AHEAD OF THE U.S. EAST

COAST, WHICH IS 3 HOURS AHEAD OF THE U.S. WEST COAST.



45KB ( 360 KILOBITS /SEC ) IS NOT PISS POOR, THAT IS WHAT DSL

CAN PROVIDE AT THE 1.5 MILE LIMIT. BUT YOU ARE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN.

IF ~ 200 Kb IS ALL YOU EXPECT YOU PROBABLY HAVE HAD INFERIOR

SERVICE FROM THE BEGINNING.


Dude know what you're taking about before you do , unless you are
browsing by way of the NRO ( National Reconnaisance Office ) or the
NSA ( National Security Agency ) be assured you have not experienced
a 336 megabyte per second download speed - 336 kilo-bytes per sec ,
perhaps. Cable tops out at 5 mega-bits which is 600 kilo-bytes ,
0.6 meg per sec.
