going to rate-limit you. You buy more bandwidth for more aggregate throughput of concurrent transactions, you do not buy more bandwidth for 'faster downloads' - that won't work. That's not what they talk about on their commercials, on the contrary, that you'll get more speed, that web browsing will fly. On the fine print they say that speed will depend on the sites I visit, though.
I suspect you're talking about different things. You're talking about what you get from your ISP and Adam is talking about what the servers you connect to will allow. Quite different things. Don't forget, if it's a popular site, then there may be several other connections at the same time as yours. You'll have to share the server's bandwidth with those others.
Absolutely, I know that. But it is a new experience for me. You see, till recently I had a 1 mbit ADSL, and I was the slow link in the overall system. Now I have a 100 mbit fibre, and I'm the fast one on the game. I'm not used to be waiting because the web out there is not fast enough for me ;-P - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
