That's a pretty horrid upload speed tbh. I mean, over 17Mbps download, but only 700kbps upload? I only get 3mbps Download speed, but I have at least 600kbps upload speed.

We all did this about 12-18 months ago, there is a thread about it somewhere.
That is the same package I'm on but I'm closer to the server
Not great as I have several things runnning atm.

Aren't you all glad you don't live in Tasmania? (I can't think of another location where you have to go 600ks across an undersea cable just to get to the nearest server...)
TBH it's not terrible, just a slight annoyance from time to time. Particularly if two people try to use the connection at once.

I've come face to face with myself, man.
Sanctify the early light just like the old man can, boy!
Change the world? You'd better change yourself, man/ boy/ man
Challenge the mind to be more like the rolling ocean, man!

I can't believe TMNut is actually decent. :o
There are still occasional DCs and also the fact that I can't use torrents at all. D:

It's a 6 mbps rated line, but my result isn't fairly accurate considering I'm on my brother's wireless network and due to overhead and interference, I get a slightly downgraded speed. But still far better than my old 1.5 mbps line.
Thanks to that awesome signature maker, Cattman2236.

Well I was able to download a 13GB file in 35 minutes once (will keep mum about its contents) and the speed peaked at about 8.9 MB/s (yes Bytes not bits)
Sometimes though some proxy doesn't allow me to fully exploit my massive upload speeds.
