I know that you can get phenomenal speeds, but that's somewhat useless if you can't download VODs over p2p It's very common for US colleges to block p2p and monitor bandwidth. You can get into pretty serious trouble with the school for overdoing it. | ||

It depends entirely on the university. Some universities take a very hands off approach and don't do any policing unless it interferes with the network. Others track bandwidth, some cap speeds, and some block p2p protocols. It varies a ton among universities. | ||

Anyway, on to mine: I thought that was pretty good too, my world has been turned upside down While we're talking about net speeds, can someone explain to me why in reality I never actually get anywhere close to those types of speeds in downloads? Speedtest says I get about 9mb/s, but the best download speed i've ever got is 1.2mb/s, most of the time it's anything from 300-700kb/s. That's a pretty massive disparity no? Mb =/= MB or 1 Megabit = 0.125 Megabyte so 9.44 Mb = 1.18 Megabyte download (pretty much what you said, 1.2 MB/s) Anyone correct me if I'm wrong please ^_^ | ||

Unfortunately most people are on cable and DSL where the modulation and error coding adds significant latency. Once you get fiber it's hard to go back. that's too costly in the US atleast for me but idm too much 20 bucks a month for 6016 kb/s down and 768 kb/s up on dsl that i've never had down time or throttling issues atleast where i live it's pretty good. imo not that bad. | ||
