| "speed tests" another comment i will make is the fact that i have personally witnessed two seperate comcast customers in the gaming clan i am in dfbutclan.com one in NH and the other in south FL taking speed tests and getting their advertised rate (or well above it) but yet when they use FTP or a HTTP webserver to upload a file to someplace or to someone they get 70kb/sec for the first 30-60 seconds then it drops to exactly 44kb/sec and will NOT exceed that number (CLEARLY indicating some kind of capping) and apparently it is not "selective capping" it is reproducable. and these people only "occasionally" (once or twice a month) use anything like bittorrent - i know. i've been in their computers... now i'll probably get people telling me that they should get a business class connection because webservers shouldnt be allowed but that is just B$. it's not like these people are hosting microsofts servers from their home. |
