How fast is your net connection?
« on: March 13, 2007 11:02 am CDT »
I'm posting this because I was downloading at 1MB (over 1000KB/sec, approx 10000Kb) a sec.  I just thought how crazy that was for an internet connection.  Just curious what others have.

Notes Added by Particle:
1 Byte = 8 Bits
1 Kilobit = 1024 Bits
1 Kilobyte = 1024 Bytes = 8192 Bits

1 Megabyte = 1024 Kilobytes = 1,048,576 Bytes
1 Megabyte = 8 Megabits

Megabyte = MB
Kilobyte = KB

Megabit = Mb
Kilobit = Kb

Please keep your labeling correct or the comparisons will be mostly useless.

Edit by xenos: Yeah I really screwed up the bits and bytes.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Well, it just wouldn't be very helpful if people (in their ignorance) say they're getting 3000KBps when they mean 3000Kbps.  Almost everybody is oblivious to the difference, so I'm trying to prevent that here.
