It shits me off how they advertise it as UNLIMITED DOWNLOADS, then is size 8 font it has 'Max usage 80Gig p/month.

Where does it say that?

I get like 1.2 MBps from Aussie SourceForge mirrors so yeah... 1.2 MBps = 9.6 Mbps

oh i see i see, well my friend on optus gets like 14mbps raw, idk how >.> but 1.2mbps is awesome, like 10x mine

Where does it say that?

fine print lol

But you said 170 kbps, so that's 21.25 kBps, so mine's like 50x better

fine print lol

You sure? I don't see it, what does it say so I can Ctrl+F it.

Yeh seen it, but there's no use, 130 GB doesnt finish (usually)

I has the 130 GB with TPG. avg 1.0 MB/s from Megashares premium account. But the beauty is that you can download all you want on the last day of monthly cycle. and the 1mbps (125 kb/s)cap speed rocks!

Agreed.

Apple/Microsoft are the best for me, 600 kbps

iRuler, I think your confusing yourself with the kbps bit. kbps/mbps stands for kilobits per second where as kb/s stands for kilobytes per second.
In order to convert kbps to kb/s you divide by 8, kbps is the speed everyone usually advertises because it sounds bigger/better. kb/s is your actual transfer/dl speed.

No.

kbps and kb/s are the same

kbps = kilobits per second.
kBps = kiloBYTES per second
8 kbps = 1 kBps

similarly,
8mbps = 1mBps

the difference is in the capitalisation

I stand corrected.

i just left off the capitals.
