Am on 100mb?? (I always get confuded when to use capitals) unlimited useage cable though so not doing it too hard - will only be the upload speed that improves for me so not too fussed. Will be going the max speed, quota free when it finally does hit here - could still be a few years away though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBAF Bronze Donating Members 2,156 Member For: 8y 3m 16d Posted 05/04/17 03:25 AM Share Posted 05/04/17 03:25 AM (edited) yep. 100MB (megabyte) not 100Mb (megabit) internet works in byte and bit and to the power of 8 in transfer rate. hence why a 512KB adsl gets a 64Kb transfer speed (maximum) add overheads etc to each packet of course will lower overall speed Edited 05/04/17 03:27 AM by MBAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old windows dialup days you could go into the settings and change retrieval bits or force it to receive 4bits over 8 etc but it would depend on carrier to whether you got any sort of benefit from it (which was never) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
