@ -d-

I have a 512kbps down & 256kbps up ADSL line, and I get anything between 50kbps to 180kbps down it through my router to any of the PC's on my network, which is about right, with the usual speed being 60kbps ish.

With ADSL the bandwith you subscribe for has a contention ratio, the ration is 50:1 for my pipex bundle which means I share my 512kbps down & 256kbps up line with up to 50 other users, so if a lot of people in your area have ADSL (the most on your line would be 50) you would get about 50kbps.

Most packages are 50:1 (or 20:1 for business bundles) contention.
Restraining orders are just another way of saying I love you!

Thanks lorddef...I'm an idiot...;) I just figured
it out...I had kbytes/sec and kbits/sec confused
at times...being that my actual connection speed
is around 300kbits/sec (+/- 30kb/sec) my download
transfer rates of between 36 - 43kbytes/sec are
correct...you would be getting roughly 60kbytes/sec
transfer, Piru would get just over 200kbytes/sec
with his 1800000bits/sec connection...argh.
