does that mean it takes 0 seconds for a page? There must be *some* limit somewhere, surely?! Or is it just 'uncapped'?

| The limits can probably be found in the speed of the sites, and the general speed of the route between your computer and the server. If I download directly off of my ISP's servers, I often get download speeds exceeding the 450kb/s I should get, while quite a few sites' pages take forever to show up. |

Not exacly, I only get really fast speeds if I'm downloading off a fast server as Roland said.

impressive :)
'best available speed for downloads' so there is some upper bound somewhere in the system, but theoretically you get as much bandwidth as you can drink through a fat straw. Very nice indeed. Send me a megabyte seeing as you've got some spare  |

unless you download more than 10GB then you get capped at 64K
mine is cable 1.5Mbit/256Kbit |

| so I guess you get your first 10G quicksharp, then down to a trickle for the rest of the month... 10G isn't too limiting for a home user - guess it's to stop people going P2P crazy? |

| And at "uncapped" potentially that could be anywhere near 30Mbit (most cable modem specs I've seen do around 20-30Mbit max) .. so you could use your 10GB up in ooooh a few hours at most if you were getting full speed. |

| last time I checked, the "fair use policy" of my ISP meant you could download a max of 30-some GB a month. We pay quite a hefty fee for the 4.5mb/s DSL connection too though... |

| I don't think I have any Bandwidth (In gb/month) restrictions. If I did I would reach the 10 gb mark in about 2.3 hours maxing out my connection fully. |

i dont have any monthly restrictions - tho even if i did i doubt id ever get anywhere near them (not for lack of trying), i suffer on with a 56k which rarely gets above 40k, id use a site thing to tell you what it is up/down but last time i tried one it told me i was on 140 something k down - so to hell with them! lol
"maxing out my connection fully" id be lucky to get 10mb in 2.3 hours! |
