Re: Paying for 780kbs getting 70?

Welcome to BBR.

Are you sure you are not confusing bits and bytes? 1-byte = 8-bits. DSL defines speed in terms of bits per second. Computers report file transfer speed in bytes per second.

Keep in mind sync rate is set higher then marketing speed to compensate for IP/PPPoE/ATM overhead. Overhead is about 10%

Assuming you have 768 kbps (kilo bits per second) service Windows will report 96 kBps (kilo bytes per second), assuming no overhead, actual speed will be a little lower.
