That's irrelevant if a single connection can sustain your full throughput though. I typically max out with only a single connection to many places. On-topic though, with the 30/4 plan I have speedtests that report between 35-45/5 and I typically see around 36/4 from the websites I frequent most.
I agree. That's why it was in reference to the comment that download managers can't/don't increase download speeds. It's not many sources that I use that can max out my DL speed with a single download. Most often you are speed limited by the source, not your plan speed.
I still disagree. Download managers suck and do not increase speed. Sure, you may connect to more servers and maintain your max speed, but they DO NOT increase the speed.
Then again, they're only good for using with torrent sites, or places you have the option to connect to multiple servers, but where does that happen in the real world?
