| Bits and bytes
As someone who has to suffer through DSL I couldn't help but notice:
896 kbytes/sec x 8 bits/byte = 7.168Mbits/sec
7.2 Mbits seems close to the advertised 8MBits anyways ...I don't dispute they may be throttling...but any chance the title is a misunderstanding of bits and bytes.... |

| its kbits when talking in broadband term of course rarely does anyone talk in kbytes on the internet
50mb=bits in most cases... unless you're referrring to harddrive speed
8mbit per sec
or 896kbit or kbps
like mp3 128kbps
anyone who think 128kbps is 128kb/sec is very confused or just trying to mislead others |

@telepac.pt | 128kbps = 128kb/sec
128kbps != 128kB/sec |
